Description
The Watermen by Patrick Easter In 1798, London's underworld is ruled by a ruthless figure known only as Boylin. His face bears the scars of a naval court martial and his back the marks of 200 lashes. When Captain Tom Pascoe becomes River Surveyor for the marine police, he unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will lead him to confront Boylin once again. As Pascoe delves deeper into the mystery of a sudden fall in government revenue, he is aided by Sam Hart, a Jewish immigrant with his own agenda. Together, they scour East London and the docklands for clues, but fate has other plans. Their investigation becomes entangled with their personal lives, adding a layer of complexity to the case. A gripping tale of cat-and-mouse unfolds as Pascoe and Boylin engage in a game of survival, each trying to outwit the other. With the nation's ability to fight Napoleon and stem the rising tide of Irish rebellion hanging in the balance, the stakes are high.
