"Metà Ottocento, Londra. William May è appena tornato dalla guerra di Crimea a Londra, dove ha trovato lavoro nella Commissione di risanamento delle fogne. Come accade spesso ai reduci di guerra, è tormentato da strani incubi e complessi di colpa. Nel ventre di Londra, nella città sotterranea dei tunnel fognari, la vita somiglia a un girone dell'inferno e un giorno William assiste, in uno dei tunnel, all'evento che segnerà la sua vita: l'uccisione di Alfred England, un gentiluomo che da tempo denunciava la corruzione e i loschi affari presenti nella Commissione di risanamento delle fogne."
"In de riolen van het Victoriaanse Londen ontstaan niet alleen stank en epidemieën, maar ook moord en doodslag."
"Returning to London after the horrors of the Crimean War, William May has landed a job at the heart of Bazalgette's transformation of the London sewers. But when the sewers begin to yield dark and dangerous secrets, May discovers that life above ground is far more dangerous than beneath."

"It is 1855, and engineer William May has returned home to London and his beloved wife from the horrors of the Crimean War. When he secures a job transforming the city's sewer system, he believes it will prove his salvation, as, in the subterranean world beneath the city, he begins to lay his ghosts to rest. But when the peace of the tunnels is shattered by a violent murder William loses his tenuous hold on his sanity. Implicated in the crime, plagued by nightmares and visions, he is no longer sure: Could he truly have committed it? Long Arm Tom, a tosher, is William's only hope of salvation."@en

"Returning home from the battlefields of 1855 Crimea, William May struggles to recover from his experiences by working on London's new sewer system, a job that is compromised by a murder accusation that strains his tenuous hold on sanity."
"William May returns to London after the horrors of the Crimean War. Scarred and fragile though he is, he lands a job at the heart of Bazalgette's transformation of the London sewers. There, in the darkness of the stinking tunnels beneath the rising towers of Victorian London, May discovers another side of the city and remembers a disturbing, violent past. And then the corruption of the growing city soon begins to overwhelm him and a violent murder is committed. Will the sewers reveal all and show that the world above ground is even darker and more threatening than the tunnels beneath? Beautifully written, evocative and compelling, with a fantastically vivid cast of characters, Clare Clarke's first book is a rich and suspenseful novel that draws the reader right into Victorian London and into the worlds of its characters desperately attempting to swim the tides of change."
