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
