It's been a year since a body found floating in the murky waters of the Thames thrust penniless Joe, Edie, Ottilie and Jack into the criminal underbelly of Victorian London. The Mudlarks, now raised from poverty, are pursuing their own ventures. But their new-found security is shattered when Jack crosses paths with a fearless street urchin called Flea. Flea knows the whereabouts of a deadly treasure hidden deep beneath London, and he needs their help to recover it. Yet they are not the only ones on the trail of the treasure, and the dark sewers beneath Hampstead hold forces more sinister than anything the Mudlarks have faced before. As they face criminals, cutthroats and things far worse, familiar faces will force Jack to confront memories he had struggled to forget, and the Mudlarks will fight to survive on their most monstrous adventure yet.

'My first thought is that it's a pig that someone has lost to the river. Perhaps it fell off one of the barges that choke up the Thames. They're a constant feature, toiling up and down, day and night, giving off black smoke that clings to the water.'Joe (15) and Edie (13) are orphans living in Victorian London. Forever worried that they will be sent to the dreaded workhouse, they scratch out a living the best way they can by mudlarking on the foreshore of the River Thames and selling their finds to the nortorious Hempson. One day they discover something macabre, and it will change their lives forever. The Grinning Throat is the first in the trilogy of The Mudlark Mysteries. Written by award winnng author, Kate Wiseman, it is historical fiction at its best.
