The Sculthorpe Murder

In 1810 Northamptonshire, a new canal network becomes the backdrop for a chilling crime as the brutal Panther Gang terrorizes the county. When an elderly man is murdered in the quiet village of Middleton, Detective Stephen Lavender and Constable Ned Woods are summoned from London's Bow Street Police Office to investigate. As they peel back layers of family secrets and age-old vendettas, they uncover a web of revenge that suggests the Panther Gang may not be the true culprits. While Lavender navigates the dark mysteries surrounding the case, Woods must confront his own haunting past as they strive to bring justice to a town steeped in deceit.
