Blood on the Water (William Monk 20) – 11hrs 45min
Commander William Monk: in search of justice, he will not stop until he has found the truth. It is a time of progress, with the Empire’s interests expanding and the contentious new Suez Canal nearing completion. Many people stand to gain – and to lose – as the world rapidly changes.

The twentieth William Monk mystery brings us to London’s grand Mayfair mansions, where the arrogant masters of the Western world hold sway–and to the teeming Thames waterfront, where one summer afternoon, Monk witnesses the horrifying explosion of the pleasure boat Princess Mary, which takes nearly two hundred of the merrymakers on board to their deaths. The tragedy is no accident. As commander of the River Police, Monk should handle the case, but the investigation is turned over to the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.

An Egyptian man is swiftly caught, tried, and sentenced to die. But almost as quickly, Monk presents evidence that Habib Beshara, though a nasty piece of work, was elsewhere at the time of the blast. As he and his wife Hester investigate further, Monk begins to wonder if justice itself has been tainted, exposing the true culprit will be far more dangerous
