“Murder and mischief in eighteenth-century Bristol. . . . A treat for fans of Ambrose Parry.” —Mick Herron, Gold Dagger Award–winning author of Slow Horses Coronation hears of the murders before she even reaches the slave port of Bristol—six boys found with their throats slit. Horrified, she questions the locals’ readiness to blame the deaths on Red John, a traveling-man few have actually seen. Corrie yearns to know more about the mystery. But first she has to outsmart the bawds, thieves, and rakes who prey on young girls like her, fresh from the countryside and desperate for work. And when the killer strikes shockingly close, Corrie will have to scheme, eavesdrop, and spy on all around her until the shameful truth is out . . . “Not only is this novel a roller-coaster ride of frantic coach rides through floods and collapsing buildings, it is a serious, thoughtful account of racial and religious prejudice, love and compassion. Highly recommended.” —Historical Novel Society “Fans of historical crime fiction will love this one. An outstanding debut.” —Stephen Booth, author of the Cooper and Fry mysteries “A vivid, compelling and immersive read.” —Roz Watkins, author of the DI Meg Dalton series

The Ilkin, whose name is Tierny Swarthfinger, (Pronounced 'Tiny'), lives in the land of Tourmaline Green. As a young Ilkin he is badly behaved, drinking beer and smoking a corn-cob pipe. The tale opens when a Teacher-Leprechaun named Harrity J. Eckles is sent to teach him how to behave and to take the tests which if he passes, will earn him the right to wear the emerald green tunic that has six gold buttons to the front, along with the bowler hat that all Leprechauns wear. This is a tale of magic and charm, of morals and of good luck and good fortune, a book that has characters the children will love as well as endear it to adults. There are pictures to colour in and all have a beauty and charm, a learning book of what good manners mean.
