1911, East London. The police collaborate with racketeers to keep an uneasy peace, periodically broken by vicious street wars. Dido Peach comes to prominence running protection rackets by breaking the unwritten rules of the underworld. His fall is just as spectacular, shaking even the callous and vicious world he lived in.
“Enthralling” – Sunday Times
“Alexander Baron was a skilled traditionalist, a contriver of plotdriven, socially perceptive meditations on place.” – Iain Sinclair
