Set in the summer of 1870, Thames River Police commander William Monk investigates the murder of Hungarian businessman Imrus Fodor, who was found impaled by a bayonet at a riverfront warehouse. Fodor's fingers are broken, and 17 candles are arrayed nearby, all bloody, and two of an unusual blue. The victim's enigmatic countryman, Antal Dobokai, who discovered the body, serves as translator as Monk investigates London's close-knit Hungarian community. Leads are few, until identical murders occur. Londoners panic, ethnic tensions flare, and Monk's wife, Hester, becomes involved when a friend is suspected.
