County Guides To Murder

Swanton Morley, the People’s Professor, sets off for Devon to continue his 'County Guides'. He has been invited to give the Founder’s Day speech at All Souls School, but when he arrives he discovers that a boy has died in mysterious circumstances. Was it an accident or was it – murder?

5th November 1937, Morley, Miriam and Sefton find themselves caught up in the celebrations and the chaos. On the morning after the night before, Sefton goes for a swim in Pells Pool, the oldest freshwater lido in England – in the very centre of Lewes – where he discovers a woman’s body. She has drowned. Is it a misadventure or could it be … murder?
