As the country mourns the passing of Queen Victoria, Inspector Cornelius Armstrong finds himself wrestling with a series of complex investigations that threaten to overwhelm the City Police Force. After he is called away to attend the scene of a seemingly unconnected suicide, Armstrong finds that the tragedy actually leads to a breakthrough in his enquiries and the complexities of the previous few months start to unravel.

Cornelius Armstrong is a Detective Inspector in Edwardian Carlisle.  In the first of these two adventures, Armstrong investigates the brutal murder of a young Italian immigrant on the corner of West Walls and Dean Tait’s Lane in November 1903. In doing so, Cornelius uncovers a far wider web of underworld crime.  In the second case, the reciting of ghost stories in front of a blazing fire at an innocent Christmas party, inadvertently leads the detective into a trail of betrayal and deceit that dates back some six hundred years to the death of King Edward I on Burgh Marsh.
