The facts and fiction of Sweeney Todd's life are drawn together to present an account of this infamous murderer in the early years of the 19th century. Todd was a London barber who, with the aid of an ingenious revolving chair, slew possibly as many as 160 victims. The book moves from Bell Yard, where his accomplice, Margery Lovett, used the flesh of his victims for meat pies, to Fleet Street, the scene of his appalling crimes. It traces Todd's rise to notoriety, and the determination of Sir Richard Brown of the Bow Street Runners to catch him.
