When the San Angelo drifts into port in the Thames Estuary, telephones begin to ring across the capital and an intricate series of events is set in motion. Beset by dreadful storms in the Bay of Biscay, the ship, along with the 'mixed cargo' it carries, is late. Unaware of the machinations of avaricious importers, wayward captains and unscrupulous traders, Harry Reed and June Harvey are thrust together by a riverside accident, before being swept into the current of a dark plot developing on the dockside.

A moody classic set around London's historic docks published in 1938, Josephine Bell's unique and atmospheric writing shines in a mystery weaving together blackmail, bootleg lingerie and, of course, murder.

This is an unique, outstandingly fine, lost mystery. The setting in the dock areas of London among poor bargemen and their families is extraordinarily vivid. The author seems to have been a doctor in the neighborhood and so knows it in fine detail. The performance is wonderful. Best mystery I never heard of that I've read in years. Should be much better known.

Hope Amazon posts more Josephine Bell books. The story was well written, entertaining, and exciting.

Great listen

I struggled to finish the book. Neither the plot nor the characters were very interesting. To future listeners maybe listen to two or three chapters. If it does not peak your interest return the book as it will not get any better. The narration was fine. The female voices by the male narrator were not obnoxious.
