Description
The Detective Wore Silk Drawers: The Second Sergeant Cribb Mystery by Peter Lovesey In Victorian England, bare-knuckle fighting was forbidden, but its underground world continued to thrive. When a headless body is found floating in the Thames, Sergeant Cribb knows he's facing a challenge. Desperate for information, he selects young constable Henry Jago to infiltrate the gang. Jago undergoes a rigorous programme of purging and pickling before being trained by the fighters. Cribb suspects that the losing fighters are being killed or worse, so getting Jago out just in time is crucial. As the investigation unfolds, Cribb must navigate the treacherous world of bare-knuckle fighting to uncover the truth. This reissue from Peter Lovesey's acclaimed Sergeant Cribb series offers a gripping and atmospheric portrayal of Victorian London's hidden underworld.
