WHO KILLED BOY STAUNTON?
Around this central mystery is woven a glittering, fantastical, cunningly contrived trilogy of novels. Luring the reader down labyrinthine tunnels of myth, history, and magic, The Deptford Trilogy provides an exhilerating antidote to a world from where "the fear and dread and splendour of wonder have been banished."
