The victim turns out to be the daughter of a well-known judge, and the investigation is taken over by Senior Inspector of Scotland Yard Michael Corravan. A former boxer and dockworker from the shabby London East End, Corravan has a good street sense and skill in finding clues, but he is very surprised when exactly one week later a second woman is found dead in a boat, and then a third... It gradually becomes clear that the river murders may be connected to some terrible fact of injustice in the past for which someone vowed to take cruel revenge. Corravan must uncover the truth before London plunges into a state of panic and before the killer demands another innocent victim. «Under the Sorrowful Moon» London, 1878. A new investigation confronts the renowned inspector Michael Corravan, born in Ireland, with his compatriots, the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Everything indicates that this organization is involved in the most terrible maritime disaster ever seen in London—the sinking of the steamship «Princess Alice».
