Author's debut 'Sergeant Verity' novel. William Clarence Verity (William after the old king,Clarence after the Duke) is a Sergeant in Scotland Yard's 'Private Clothes Detail'. His beat is the underworld of Victorian London - a seething maze of alleys and bordellos,peopled with sneak thieves,thugs, murderers and their doxies.It is a world recreated with superb authenticity in Francis Selwyn's novel. From far off Bengal,as an echo of an obscure scandal,there comes to Verity a tantalising hint of major crime in the making. Despite his superior's instructions,Verity determines to run the plotters down.And there begins a battle between Verity's sturdy resolve and the devilish cunning of his unseen adversary: Lieutenant Verney Dacre,retired officer of cavalry,woman beater and gentleman cracksman (a safebreaker).The stakes are Verity's career,indeed his freedom - and half a ton of bullion. Basing his story upon the events and characters of the real train robbery case of 1857,Mr Selwyn has created a rich Victorian drama,alive with the seedy corruption of the stews of Seven Dials and the glamour of the smart gaming-houses and brothels of the Haymarket.He takes us into the world of the 'Other Victorians' with a skill and panache that bring the age alive.Sergeant Verity is an inspired creation,he moves through danger and temptation with the dogged uprightness of a Gladstone and all the worldliness of a Disraeli.Word has it that his next adventure will take him to John Company's India - he should arrive just in time for the Mutiny!
