Wild Boy has been covered in hair since birth; he's the missing link, a monster, a sideshow spectacle. Condemned to life in a travelling freak show, excluded from society and abused by his master, he takes refuge in watching people come and go at the fair - and develops a Sherlock Holmes style talent for observation and detection. But when there's a murder, suspicion turns to Wild Boy, and he and the feisty, red-haired acrobat Clarissa Everett find themselves on the run from a London-wide manhunt.
