Mystery
Preston, 1741. The drowning of drunken publican Antony Egan
is no surprise—even if it comes as an unpleasant shock to
coroner Titus Cragg, whose wife was the old man’s niece. But
he does his duty to the letter, and the inquest’s verdict is
accidental death. Meanwhile the town is agog with rumour and
faction, as the General Election is only a week away and the
two local seats are to be contested by four rival
candidates. But Cragg’s close friend, Dr. Luke Fidelis,
finds evidence to cast doubt on the events leading to Egan’s
demise. Soon suspicions are further roused when a well-to-do farmer
collapses and it appears he was in town on political
business. Is there a conspiracy afoot? The Mayor and Council
have their own way of imposing order, but Cragg is
determined not to be swayed by their pressure. With the help
of Fidelis’s scientific ingenuity the true criminals are
brought to light.
