London, 1741. The body of a young man is found washed up on the mudflats of the Thames, a rosary and a piece of paper are the only clues to his identity. Richard Hopgood is tasked to identify the man, leading him to discover a secret rebellious group. Hopgood unravels the tangled threads of duplicity and subterfuge weaving through the streets of Georgian London, a journey taking him through all strands of society, from the highest office of government to the lowest rat-infested slum, each with their own hidden dangers. Justice, truth and deceit all play their part as the guilty and the innocent are inexorably drawn back to the lifeblood running through the city, the River Thames -- The River of Retribution.
