A The Constable Oastler Inquiries-A Murder in Bearbinder Lane

Constable Oastler has been with Bow Street for three years and at last he's been given a murder inquiry. But it isn't easy. Some witness has sold his story to a local amusement parlour, Salmon's Waxworks, and when the scenes are set up, most of London wants to get in on the act.

The Revolutionary War with America is raging, spies are lurking in ale houses and misdeeds from the past are coming back to haunt wrongdoers. Oastler doesn't know it but this murder is going to have far reaching consequences.
