This extraordinary story unfolds in the dim streets of Victorian London's notorious East End. Poverty, squalor and crime fester and proliferate, blighting the lives of all who are unfortunate enough to dwell there. Yet, from within the gloom, shines a beacon of light: the light of human dignity. And, sometimes, righteousness, decency and justice win out.

In this dramatic play - out of the everlasting human conflict of good versus evil, various giants of their time, immortal beings, come into conflict. They form unlikely alliances, each presenting a differing prism of perception, different viewpoints of what is right and what is wrong; ultimately, what is Good and what is Evil.

This was a strange book. For anyone expecting a Conan Doyle style., it was more a cross between Charles Dickens and Bulldog Drummond. Good in parts , I found it slightly long winded and disjointed but I followed it to the end.
