Meet Arnold Landon, mild-mannered history buff turned amateur sleuth.
“The skilful Mr Lewis has made Arnold Landon an unforgettable character.” New York Times
Originally published as An Assumption of Death.
Along the rugged coast of Whitby, dark dealings are afoot.
The discovery of a headless corpse out at sea has everyone on high alert. The dead man is a notorious villain, last seen sailing his luxury yacht round the Med.
Now he’s all washed up in the North East. But how?
Elsewhere, Arnold Landon has problems of his own. Not least, an ultimatum from his girlfriend. Should he join her in the States? Or let her go for good?
As he grapples with the dilemma, there is plenty to distract him.
A young heiress goes missing and a local historian falls to his death from the dizzy heights of a belfry tower.
Could it all be connected?
Arnold’s instincts tell him both victims were tangled in the same web of deceit.
Can he unravel the truth in time to save the missing girl?
Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.
