Fielding is the co-founder of London’s first police force and this is the first of his cases written by Bruce Alexander. The case sees a lord who passes away by an suicide, but his death quickly reveals a fountainhead of deception, greed, and murder. The story also sees Fielding recruit a thirteen-year-old named Jeremy to help in his fight against London’s most wicked crimes.
