My first read of this Bow Street runner mystery series. Sir John is the blind magistrate, and Jeremy is his "eyes". Remniscent of Isaac of Girona (Caroline Roe's Chronicles series).

The houses of the wealthy are being robbed by a gang of black men who break in, herd the servants to the kitchen and then disappear with the loot.

With Sir Joseph Fielding in bed with a bullet wound, Jeremy Proctor has to do more than run errands, now he must investigate the crimes. It gets difficult as one of the criminals may be a friend, another may be a girl he would like to be more friendly with, and yet another may even be one of the Bow Street Runners.

And what does the present crime wave have in common with a case Sir Joseph tried years ago? And who is that naked woman in his bed?

There are plots within plots, and red herrings abound, in this exciting novel. Sadly, this series has only four more volumes for me to read.
