The Frankenstein Chronicles

London 1827: River Thames at night - a smuggling operation is underway - suddenly, a river police launch is bearing down on the smugglers and a fight breaks out, followed by a furious chase to the shore.

Marlott visits the house of artist and printmaker William Blake who is on his deathbed, but he receives Marlott as a prophet of things to come.

Flora has escaped the clutches of Billy Oates and throws herself on Marlott's mercy. Believing her to be a key witness to Alice's disappearance, he brings her to his lodgings for safety.

Marlott takes a terrified Pritty on his assignation to meet the men who kill for money and they find themselves in the tunnels under Smithfield market, which run from the Fortune of War pub to St Bart's Hospital.

Boz, having followed Marlott and his case, has published his newspaper article, The Frankenstein Murders, which causes a public outcry and infuriates Peel on the eve of the Anatomy Act.

Marlott begins to put together the pieces surrounding the movement of bodies into the hospital and new suspects set his disturbed mind spinning.
