London, 1858: a child is dead, a man is blamed, and dragged through hell - why is he persecuted and who is his persecutor? Purefinder is a Gothic-horror historical thriller with a metaphysical edge; a circadian, Dantean exploration of London, loss, and fraternity; mystery, blood, mud, and guts combined; Rabelaisian relief; human tragedy; and the important questions at the heart of any time.
