About the book

"The Quality of Mercy" opens in the spring of 1767, in the immediate aftermath of the events in Barry Unsworth's "Sacred Hunger". It follows the fortunes of two central characters from that book: Sullivan, an Irish fiddler, and Erasmus Kemp, the son of a disgraced Liverpool slave-ship owner who hanged himself. To avenge his father's death, Erasmus Kemp has had the rebellious sailors of his father's ship, including Sullivan, brought back to London to stand trial on charges of mutiny and piracy.
