Set around 1877, this atmospheric mystery follows Cribb and his colleague Thackeray as they investigate a chilling series of headless bodies pulled from the River Thames. Each victim appears to be linked to the brutal underground world of illegal bare-knuckle boxing — a violent subculture hidden beneath the surface of respectable society. As the investigation deepens, Cribb uncovers a dangerous network of prize-fighters, promoters, and secrets along the foggy riverbanks. Meanwhile, an undercover operation inside the boxing ring brings them closer to the truth — and closer to the killer. Based on Peter Lovesey’s acclaimed Victorian detective series, this drama blends historical detail, suspense, and classic British storytelling, perfect for fans of period crime mysteries and BBC radio dramas.
