The thrilling sequel to Dead Image is again based on fact—a dramatic murder case is set against an 1878 historic tragedy When the bodies of a number of babies are found scattered around Islington, the volatile Detective Sergeant Best is sent undercover to lodge next door to a suspected baby farm. He shadows an alleged "child dropper" onto a Thames pleasure steamer and finds himself caught up in Britain's worst civilian tragedy—the 1878 sinking of the Princess Alice—a ghastly experience which will haunt Best forever. His determination to avenge the death of a young pregnant girl he had befriended and save the life of another becomes a crusade. Meanwhile, his beloved Helen returns from Paris with the promise of a decision as to their future.
