The gothic, helter-skelter thriller debut that introduces crime fiction's first ever Traveller detective, Scott Jericho.

'A distinctive detective, a striking setting, and macabre murders – what more could a reader ask for?' - JOHN CONNOLLY, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Charlie Parker books

Scott Jericho thought he'd worked his last case. Fresh out of jail, the disgraced former detective is forced to seek refuge with the fairground family he once rejected.

Then a series of bizarre murders comes to light - deaths that echo a century-old fairground legend. The police can't connect the victims. But Jericho knows how the legend goes; that more murders are certain to follow.

As Jericho unpicks the deadly mystery, a terrifying question haunts him. As a direct descendant of one of the victims in the legend, is Jericho next on the killer's list?
