The Perio Cuckoo is a supernatural thriller set in the snowy days preceding Christmas, 1899. It follows the adventure of two young children, Thomas and Elizabeth, uprooted from their little village and forced to spend Christmas at the notorious Perio Hall. It is there that they unearth a dreadful secret; a mystery entwining not just themselves, but also the strange occupants of the house, the spiteful and vindictive Mrs. Covet and her strange mumbling brother, Elias. But there are others there too; watching from the cracks and within shadows, waiting for Tom and Beth to unearth the horrific past that still lingers in the mansion's walls. It is an adventure that leads them from the security of their village to the streets of London; from Perio Hall to Britain's most notorious prison. Will Tom and Beth survive the mansion's legacy, or will they fall victim to the Perio Cuckoo?
