From hunting pickpockets in London omnibuses and ghosts in Hesse Square, Sergeant Watters and Detective Silver are led into the notorious Wild Geese public house, and a tangled mystery that involves the murder of a guardsman and the vivacious wife of an Austrian diplomat.

With the help of the Irish woman Rowena, Watters trawls through the back streets of London, encounters female prize-fighters and suave cracksmen, and finds himself in the savage world of espionage.

But can he unravel the mysterious words: "There is a storm from the east and the west"?

This is a good romp through spies and terrorism in the 1860s. Lots of colour and period detail. One character was totally unbearable and I kept hoping she would be the next to get shot. Good job this was set when it was because a few years later and she’d have been first in the queue to vote for the Anschluss. The narrator got on my nerves a bit because although he’s good at accents, his mispronunciation of several simple words really grated. If I’m ever dictator, I will ban writers from using the word Lieutenant because apparently there’s not a British actor out there who knows how to say it correctly. Maybe I should write to RADA…
