Summer 1909. London.
Amid the sweat and oil of an East London steel factory, the Porcelain Poet scrawls his rhymes on toilet doors - witty, abusive and anonymous. Then comes the week that the graffiti stops abruptly, just as an unpopular shop steward is found face-down in the Thames. Across the city, other union men have been going missing too - but what's happening to them and why?
Once again, it's up to Harry Catcliffe, jaded industrialist and reluctant investigator, to try and get to the bottom of it. Aided by his unpredictable sidekick, ex-marine Jabez Potter, Harry's hunt takes him from the squalid rookeries of Lambeth to the fragrant heather moors of rural Yorkshire.
An eagerly anticipated sequel to The Tin Face Parade, this darkly humorous Edwardian crime novel will keep you guessing right to the end.
