Book description
In Edinburgh, Drew Stalker studies law, determined never to return to
the grinding poverty of his childhood. Mirrin, the most restless and
vital of them all, takes to the road and begins her journey, from
tinker's camp to hiring fair, to a glittering future on the music-hall
stage. And the Stalkers who remain in Blacklaw join a violent and bloody
riot when the mine-owner Houston Lamont pushes them, at last, too far.
