Description
In 1882, David Wildeblood arrives in London to work as an 'inspector' for Henry Marchmont's weekly publication. His job is to investigate the notorious slum of Somers Town, recording details about its inhabitants and their living conditions. By mapping the streets, Marchmont aims to show the harsh realities of poverty in his city. As David delves deeper into the everyday squalor of Somers Town, he befriends a young coster named Jo and her sister Roma. Through their slang and way of life, David gains insight into the struggles of those living in the area. However, he soon discovers that someone is making a profit from people's suffering, leading him to uncover a conspiracy involving prominent citizens. David's investigation puts his life at risk, but he remains determined to expose the truth. With the support of a friend and ultimately, a woman he comes to love, David navigates the dangers of his quest for justice.
