Most of his work was done between the Fastnet lighthouse, Crookhaven, and Cape Clear Island because they were so closely connected. Do not be tempted to steer for the Crookhaven Light House until the red sector covering Alderman Rocks turns to white. The Mizen Peninsula, at Ireland’s most south-westerly point, is worldwide renown for the beauty of its rugged landscape and ancient heritage. The books in this series are unputtownable, following the main character, 13-year-old Gabriel, a brilliant pickpocket who one day receives an invitation to a school for criminals.

Mizen Head Signal Station at the end of the Mizen Peninsula is Ireland's most Southwesterly point and is a spellbinding place to visit in all weathers. As such Alderman Sound is a thing for the very adventurous in good conditions and with the benefit of local knowledge aboard.
