I didn't realise that Sir John Fielding was a real person before I started. He really was blind and apparently wore a black band on his forehead to remind people that he was blind. He helped found the Bow Street Runners and was the Bow Street Magistrate.

The story is narrated by Jeremy Proctor, a young boy looking for an apprenticeship as a printer now that his father has died at the hands of a mob.

It's a classic locked room mystery and I had worked out most of the plot before finishing but it was an interesting trip. Sir John was an interesting character and I look forward to reading more in the future.
