"A thrilling mystery, full of morbid twists and macabre turns." --
Booklist
In the seedy underworld of Victorian London, a boy is born and
abandoned. Covered in hair from head to toe, Wild Boy is snatched up by
an unscrupulous and abusive showman and becomes a sideshow freak--but
also an avid observer, developing Sherlock Holmes-like deductive skills.
When a murder occurs at the fair, Wild Boy is hastily accused. Can he
use his powers of deduction to save himself?
