Wrong place. Wrong time. A boy on the run.



THE MARKET'S ON FIRE. FIRE! FIRE! THE BOY DID IT! 



Smoke belches out through the market entrance. 



And me? 



I turn and run. 



Inverness 1889. 



When 12-year-old Phin is accused of a terrible crime, his only option is to flee. In the unlikely company of an escaped prisoner and a group of travelling entertainers, he enters a new world of Punch and Judy shows and dancing bears.



But will Phin clear his name?



And what can he do when memories of a darker, more terrible crime begin to haunt him?
