lives when there is a horrific explosion of the pleasue boat the "Princess Mary" The tragedy is no accident. As commander of the River Police Monk should handle the case, but the investigation is turned over to the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. An Egyptian man is soon caought, tried and sentenced to die. But almost as quickly Monk presents evidence that Habib Beshara was elsewhere at the time of the blast. Is the crime connected with the soon-to-be opened Suez Cannal, which will enormously benefit wealthy British shipping companies? or did all of these innocent people die to ensure the death of only one of them? Backed by his wife Hester and his old reliable friend (and great character) Oliver Rathbone, Monk vows to find the answers.
