“They be moved!”
It is the autumn of 1883. Three Hampshire villages are being menaced by a sinister shadow. A cunning vandal has been busy moving around and damaging gravestones in their quaint churchyards. Warwell and Knowles team up for the first time as they try to catch the culprit. But their sleuthing leads them far away from the quiet hamlets on an altogether different type of hunt. So they turn for help to their friends Thomas Pope and Bob Buzzby. Then, in an astonishing twist, Scotland Yard is alerted to the singular mystery. And Inspector Bullington is assigned to the case.
“My revolver. It’s back at the office. I didn’t realise I’d need it tonight.”
Will the truth behind these wicked deeds finally be exposed? Or are the band of sleuths simply running headlong towards a deadly encounter?
