Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Instigator
Whence they come, whither they disappear when the Commissioners of Sewers have made their mean trade as dead for the day as the occupation of Othello, is one of the secrets of a city which is all secrets. Ninety-nine times in a hundred the harvest of the human grub is rubbish, but once in a while the unexpected happens to verify the law of averages. It was happening now; and here, in this boxed accumulation of filth and garbage, were all the potential germs of grim mystery.'
