Wider than blood

London 1881: the capital of a mighty empire at its zenith and a flourishing hub of world trade, but also a city of vast disparities in wealth and social class. It is a city in which William Barrington, a wealthy ex-China trader, dockland baron and slum landlord, can rub shoulders with Henry Craig, a destitute alcoholic, Joseph McEvoy, a violent drunk living in one of Barrington's slums, and Alice, McEvoy's beautiful daughter, and a maid in Barrington's mansion. A mutilated body found floating in the Thames is the first in a series of brutal murders occurring in the dockland area of Limehouse, bringing together the unlikely Scotland Yard pairing of private-educated Inspector Everett Parsons and Harris, the working class sergeant from the East End backstreets --http://www.amazon.com/Wider-Than-Blood-Peter-Tyzack/dp/1602642125/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & s=books & qid=1241029900 & sr=1-2.
