The adventures of a naughty boy and an even naughtier girl, supported by a cast of colourful characters all trying to make a quick buck in Regency Brighton whilst battling Faerie folk, cryptids and demonic forces whilst hunting the elusive Sussex Knucker. Standard Rankin fare, with lashings of foaming ale, fat chewing and toot-talking. And almost none of iof the action happens in Penge, which, although I've never been there myself, I hear is a very nice place.

This is a limited edition hardback book of 1000 copies, with dust jacket, 251 pages, and will be signed and numbered by the author. There will be no digital or softback release in the foreseeable future.
