Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Mysteries of London, v. 1/4" by George W. M. Reynolds is a penny blood novel published serially beginning in 1844. This sprawling city mysteries tale reveals contrasting facets of London life, from the seedy criminal underbelly to the corrupt aristocracy's excesses. Following characters like Richard Markham and the villainous serial killer known as the Resurrection Man, Reynolds crafts a sociological story exposing vice, depravity, and class inequities. The work became the most widely read fiction in mid-nineteenth century Britain, surpassing even Dickens in popularity.
