In book one, the fascinating story of Neil S. Roberts unfolds, This young Victorian man lives a exciting magazine reporters life from 1888-1928. His private life woven in among his work adds even more insight into the people of Victorian England and brings the Victorian British life into sharp focus. Neil Roberts starts out as a reporter in the English Parliament where political battles are waged with words in a world of wigs and soap box oratory.
But soon his reporting brings him into direct contact with the hideous poverty,disease and death of the London poor, while writing about them in the popular London Magazine,The Strand. He rides with the Metropolitan Police on the Thames River Night Patrol while they are dredging bodies, and searching for criminal activities among the many docks, and wharves. He reports on the Metropolitan Fire Brigade; on the English Monetary system, The new detective Sciences; Then Neil Roberts covers the British law courts, including a sensational true murder trial in London!
