Introduces us to a host of forgotten Victorian dangers, from rabid dogs and disease epidemics to garrotte-wielding thieves who plied their trade in the ever-present fog. Established in 1836, the Metropolitan Police who patrolled Dublin's dark alleys and streets fought running battles with violent tenement mobs, Fenian rebels and street gangs.
