Dockingboys

Declan Graham has worked as a dockingboy for as long as he can remember. The boys who live by the docks and organize ships, cargo, and operate cranes, and often are regarded as unwanted delinquents.

When a suspicious-looking container of cargo arrives at the docks on the same day a dockingboy dies, Declan knows better than to look into it. But when someone sends him a letter telling him to investigate, he accepts.

Dockingboys aren't supposed to do anything other than study and work the docks. But a dangerous investigation awaits Declan, one that just might end his life.
