山本周五郎は「文学には“純”も“不純”もなく、“大衆”も“少数”もない。ただ“よい小説”と“わるい小説”があるばかりだ」を信念とし、普遍妥当性をもつ人間像の造形を生涯の目的とした作家で、時代小説を中心に沢山の作品を残しています。
　その作風は今なお古臭さを感じさせず、繊細に描かれた人の心の機微や人情に、思わず笑わされたり、胸を打たれたりする魅力に溢れています。

前職が辞任し、新しい町奉行に江戸から望月小平太が着任することとなった。
しかし、予定の日になっても新任町奉行の望月は着任しなかった。書役が記すには、望月小平太の江戸での評判は悪く、武芸には長じているものの素行には問題があるという事らしい。しかし、その悪評は望月の着任が決まって間もなく広まったものであり、大目付であり、望月とも長年親しくしていた堀郷之介に頼んで、仕事をしやすくするために望月がわざと広めさせたものであった。
望月は、博打、密売女、抜け荷の売買などが公然と行われ、長年悪徳の巣になっていた「濠外」の改革のために、腹をくくってその仕事に乗り出すのだった……
