Description: "August 1923, and as the village of Queenferry prepares for the annual Ferry Fair and the walk of the Burry Man, feelings are running high. Between his pagan greenery, his lucky pennies and the nips of whiskey to which he is treated wherever he goes, the Burry Man has something to offend everyone, whether minister, priest or temperance pamphleteer. Then, on the eve of the fair, in full view of everyone - including Dandy Gilver, present at the festivities to hand out prizes - the Burry Man drops down dead." "Has he been poisoned? If so, the list of suspects must include anyone with a bottle of whisky in the house, and here in Queenferry, that means just about everyone."--BOOK JACKET.
