Description:
In Bruce Alexander's third period novel, Jeremy Proctor is employed by the blind magistrate Sir John Fielding to be his eyes at Bow Street Court. The year is 1769, and one of His Majesty's navy ships sails into Tower Wharf in London with an officer in the brig, charged with the murder of the captain at sea. Jeremy receives an education not only in the law but in the ways of the sea, and in the nature of seafaring men. In the lusty street world adjoining the Portsmouth docks the lad is nearly press-ganged, and learns first hand the roughness of naval life and naval justice.
