Overview

The first book in the Sergeant Cribb series, from Peter Lovesey.
In Victorian London, race-walking, or ''wobbles'', are all the rage. So on a Monday morning in November 1879 the crowds gather for Islington''s bizarre six-day endurance walking race.
By Tuesday, one of the contestants is dead. Tetanus from a blister is assumed, but then there is a second death, and this time it''s definitely murder. A bemused Sergeant Cribb from Scotland Yard is called in, along with Constable Thackeray, and they soon discover that something foul is at play.
