Wharfinger
With sail giving way to steam, Luke Gregory and his shipmate Jonas Davey plan to leave the sea and set up as riverside traders on the Thames, but Davey runs out on Luke leaving him penniless until fortune smiles on him in the shape of a mudlark, or riverside scavenger. The riverside, though, is a rough and dangerous place where life is cheap and poverty and degradation abound, together with mindless religious bigotry that provides a further challenge to Luke's determination to succeed and achieve the security he craves.
