Death and Destruction on the Thames in London

Renowned crime author and journalist, Anthony Galvin, is descended from 'the funniest man alive', London music hall comedian Dan Leno, and also the world's first Panto Dame. As well as being a best-selling author and record-winning public speaker, he is a magician and stage hypnotist and works around the world, including Lapland. Anthony is spellbound by the dark stories of the Thames in London and was inspired by Charles Dickens' tales of the murderous element who haunted the banks of the great river to catch the unwary. It led to him discovering the real stories behind the tales - and they're even more dramatic (and gruesome) than fiction.
