<p>On a cold winter's night, just before Christmas 1887, an event in a pub in the small market town of Kelsford sets in motion a train of events that no one could have foreseen: a bungled robbery by the Fenian Irish Brotherhood, the murder on a deserted towpath of one of the gang members, another suspicious death and the theft of a Romanov necklace. What is the role played by Latvian anarchists, or by Ruth Samuels - a wealthy widow and banker in the secret Jewish organisation known as 'The Pipeline'? For Thomas Norton of the Kelsford Detective Department, this is an enquiry that moves across Europe into the snowbound mountains of the Tsarist Empire and back to the heat-soaked streets of New York, before plunging into the sinister alleyways of Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel. Crooked Mile is Victorian murder and mystery at its best. Ben Beazley is an historian and retired policeman. This is the first instalment of his riveting Kelsford Casebook series</p>
