Fra i molti articoli che Dickens pubblicò, fra il 1850 e il 1867, "La polizia segreta" è senz'altro il più curioso. Accantonando per un momento Londra, coi suoi sobborghi malfamati e i suoi detective ligi alla giustizia, Dickens ci trasporta nella Napoli di metà Ottocento, al crepuscolo del regime borbonico. Qui, con esplicita riprovazione dello stesso autore, vige un controllo spietato sulla popolazione da parte della temibile polizia segreta.

Nel 1850, appena otto anni dopo la creazione del Detective Branch di Londra, Charles Dickens dedica vari articoli al tema dell'indagine poliziesca, pubblicandoli sulle riviste Householde Words e All the Year Round (di cui è direttore). Le tecniche di investigazione dell'epoca, ancora relativamente nuove, rivelano in "Giù con la marea" una raffinatezza che dimostra l'estrema modernità della Scotland Yard del tempo.

Nel 1851 Charles Dickens accompagna il detective Charles Frederick Field (1805-1874) in una nottata a giro per i sobborghi londinesi. Il racconto che ne scaturisce - pubblicato sotto forma di articolo sulla rivista Household Words - è l'acuta ricostruzione dello squallore notturno di una grande metropoli. Avventurandosi fra taverne malfamate, vicoli bui e quartieri in mano alla malavita, Dickens, Field e i loro uomini toccano con mano i pericoli che si celano nelle periferie vittoriane, offrendo a chi legge l'opportunità di rivivere un'epoca remota, ma non per questo morta e sepolta.
