Barker's fifth novel, set on Canvey Island and forming a loose trilogy with Wide Open (1998) and Darkmans (2007).

A malevolent Pied Piper wanders the British countryside, leading an entranced army of misfits who follow his every move on the web, on an elaborate treasure hunt. Selected in 2003 as one of its Best Twenty of Young British Novelists, by Granta Magazine. "Barker's earthy, inventive, hilarious, and wickedly satirical novel is enormously entertaining." –Booklist
