"We are searching for a man who is referred to by the public as the Juggernaut. He is known for the home invasion of over one hundred families in the last twenty years, a monstrosity throughout the whole United Kingdom, extremely violent and very brutal yet with no casualties. Each of his victims are of better or upper social class, yet there are no signs of robbery. We have yet to figure out his motive." The year is 1849, and London is still in the grips of the industrial revolution. Gabriel Turner is the chief inspector assigned to the case of investigating one of the nation's most notorious criminals while at the same time seeking revenge for the murder of his adoptive father--Julian. Set over twenty years and portrayed through the alternate perspectives of four characters, The Juggernaut explores the lives of the same young siblings saved from slavery at Cressbrook Mill and tortured by the infamous Tom the Devil. All four form relationships and experience tragedy and loss at varying levels that impact their lives in adulthood. They witness their adoptive father fall victim to patricide, and each character's perspective slowly unravels the truth behind the horrendous murder.
