Description
It’s 1851 and Mrs Rodd has received an unusual commission: businessman Jacob Welland is dying and implores our redoubtable detective to find his beloved brother, the heir to his fortune. Joshua, an eccentric Oxford scholar, took to wandering the countryside, and one day simply failed to return. There have been sightings of his ragged figure in a gypsy camp, where he is rumoured to be learning great secrets. When a violent murder is committed, Scotland Yard don’t want to hear any nonsense about gypsies or secrets, but Mrs Rodd is convinced that something sinister is lurking in this peaceful landscape.
