THREE EVOCATIVE VICTORIAN DETECTIVE MYSTERIES FULL OF CLEVER TWISTS
THE UPTON UNDERTAKER
Mathon Churchyard, March 1891.
The Cleaves family gather in a small country churchyard for their son’s funeral. But they do not know the dead man inside the coffin.
WHO IS HE? AND WHERE IS THEIR SON?
Detective Inspector Ravenscroft is alarmed by the behaviour of the Upton Undertakers. What are they hiding? And who killed this man?
Then another member of the Cleaves family is found dead. Ravenscroft begins to suspect something grisly is afoot — could someone be involved in body snatching?
CAN THEY SOLVE THIS PUZZLING MYSTERY BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GETS HURT?
THE HEREFORDSHIRE HANGMEN
October 1891.
A stranger is discovered hanging from a tree in the Malvern Hills.
Detective Inspector Ravenscroft and Constable Crabb are called in to investigate. But how can they solve the murder if no one can identify the victim?
Whoever killed the man must have really wanted him dead — they strung him up and watched as he suffocated.
This may be the most dangerous case Ravenscroft has ever worked. Will the Herefordshire Hangmen ever be brought to justice?
CAN RAVENSCROFT FIND THE ANSWERS AND KEEP HIS OWN FAMILY SAFE?
THE BROMSGROVE BOOKSELLER
Ledbury, December 1892.
Detective Inspector Ravenscroft looks forward to spending a quiet Christmas with his family. Then he receives news that an old friend stands accused of a brutal murder.
DID YOUNG STEBBINS STAB HIS OWN UNCLE IN THE BACK?
Ravenscroft and Detective Sergeant Crabb travel to the old Worcestershire market town of Bromsgrove to investigate. But events soon take a deadly dramatic turn.
As the bad weather closes in on the two detectives Ravenscroft begins to wonder whether they will make it home for Christmas.
CAN HE CRACK THE CASE AND SAVE HIS FRIEND FROM THE GALLOWS?
Perfect for fans of M.R.C. Kasasian, E.S. Thomson, Oscar de Muriel or Karen Charlton.
MEET THE DETECTIVE
Inspector Samuel Ravenscroft, unmarried and over forty, is a detective in the Whitechapel branch of the Metropolitan Police. Painfully asthmatic, he is overlooked by his superiors in favour of his pushier colleagues. But Ravenscroft wants to prove himself and strives to overcome his physical limitations. His tools are forthright questioning, close examination of the evidence and personal intuition. He often finds that the solutions to crimes are buried deep in the past.
With his trusty Bradshaw, Ravenscroft and his colleague Constable Tom Crabb, travel around the Three Counties, overlooked by the Malvern Hills, bringing criminals to justice.
KERRY TOMBS was born near Birmingham, but grew up in various locations in north Worcestershire. After a career teaching in both England and Australia, he moved to Malvern in 1982, where he became a local genealogist, lecturer and bookseller.
