A condemned man.
A chance escape.
A race against time to catch a killer.
Autumn of 1857, and the East End of London is preparing for the launch of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s giant iron steamship, the Leviathan - at 32000 tons, the greatest ship the world has ever seen.
In Newgate prison, an innocent surgeon, Dr Jonathan Silver, is waiting in the condemned cell to be hanged for the murder of his wife, Marianne. Fate intervenes in the unlikely shape of a nineteen-year old thief, Elisa Saltash, who, in trying to break her burglar father free from Newgate on the eve of his execution, ends up freeing Dr Silver instead.
Silver and Elisa end up in the riverside world of Wapping, among the seething and dangerous world of the London docks. Silver has only one clue to the identity of his wife’s real killer – with her dying breath she had said to him the word “Leviathan”.
Can Silver and Elisa find the real killer in the bustling world of London’s docks? Or will the shadow of the gallows catch up with Jonathan Silver first?
Set against the romantic and thrilling backdrop of London of the 1850s, this is a historical thriller full of mystery, murder, suspense and romance...
