K'Barthan Extras, Hamgeean Misfit

When your very existence is treason, employment opportunities are thin on the ground. But when one of the biggest crime lords in the city makes The Pan of Hamgee a job offer he can’t refuse, it’s hard to tell what the dumbest move is: accepting the offer or saying no to Big Merv. Neither will do much for The Pan’s life expectancy. Small Beginnings is written in British English

It’s midwinter. Preparations for the biggest religious festival in the K’Barthan year are in full swing. Religious activity might be banned but no-one’ll ignore Arnold, The Prophet’s Birthday. Can The Pan of Hamgee deliver the traditional Prophet's Birthday gift to Big Merv's business associates, evade the security forces and make it back across town to an unofficial celebration with his friends.

As recently appointed delivery man for Big Merv, one of Ning Dang Po's most powerful crime bosses, The Pan of Hamgee is ordered to deliver a gift to Big Merv's current girlfriend. With a pair of bespoke-made, sapphire and diamond earrings on board, and a trip across the city in the offing, what could possibly go wrong? Everything. This book is written and spelled in British English

When The Pan of Hamgee encounters some mudlarkers trying to land a box on the banks of the River Dang he is happy to help and is rewarded with some of the contents.

Or it may bring a whole load more.
