Midsummer 1874. Jago Stonecipher, showman's apprentice, is trapped inside a box at a country fair. He can't move, he can't breathe, and his only friend is the ghost of his dead sister. Yet sometimes change comes faster than the click of a coin-clipper's fingers. First Jago finds a note in a watch. Then his mean-spirited master is brutally attacked. Jago is free at last, but other lives are at stake and instead of fleeing he plays a terrifying game of cat and mouse on a voyage that leads him far away from the back lanes of Winchester. Only his skill as a conjuror can save him now.
