Description
On a November night, a dockworker in Deptford discovers the corpse of an unknown woman. Inspector Ben Ross from Scotland Yard is called to investigate the case in this grim part of the city. Unfortunately, he struggles to find any witnesses who saw how the murder of this well-dressed middle-aged woman occurred. Even Jeb Fisher, the local rag-and-bone man, swears he saw nothing and no one. Meanwhile, Ben's wife Lizzie tries to cover up a scandal: a family friend, Edgar, is addicted to gambling and has no way to pay off his debts. Reluctantly, Lizzie agrees to visit a loan shark in Deptford with him, from whom Edgar borrowed money to settle his debts with creditors. However, when Lizzie arrives, she discovers that her husband is investigating the murder of that very lady. Edgar was the last person to see Mrs. Clifford alive, and he had a very good reason to kill her...
