Description

The Great Stink by Clare Clark In 1855, London's sewer system is about to become a deadly battleground. For William May, an engineer returning home from the Crimean War, transforming the city's underground tunnels holds promise of salvation. But when a murder shatters the peace of the subterranean world, William finds himself at the centre of a sinister plot. As he navigates the treacherous underbelly of Victorian London, William must confront his own demons and uncover the truth behind the crime. With richly atmospheric prose, The Great Stink combines fact and fiction to transport readers into a dark and mysterious past. This gripping historical novel marks the debut of a remarkably talented writer, expertly weaving together the complexities of human psychology with the gritty realities of 19th-century London.
