A Scottish detective in England’s New Forest. Detective Inspector Callum MacLean should be unpacking boxes in his new home. But when a man is run over and killed outside Godshill Village Hall, his week’s leave is cut short. The victim, Brendan Stafford, was a retired lecturer from Birmingham. No one knows why he was attending a local village meeting in the middle of the New Forest on a freezing January night. The post-mortem reveals Stafford was already dead before the car wheels struck him.

A suspicious death, a missing girl, and very few leads... New Forest police are grasping at straws. Whilst Detective Inspector Callum MacLean is settling into his new role in rural Hampshire, a young woman is found dead in the neighbourhood, her identity unknown. For a close-knit community where everyone knows everyone else, this seems very odd, but when a local child goes missing shortly afterwards, panic sets in. It’s not the first such case for the Scottish inspector, yet the last one in Glasgow ended in tragedy.

Mary-Ellen Mitchell was a well-known and seemingly well-liked businesswoman, married to a respected local artist, and part of the close-knit community.

Why is Britain Great? Could it be because in charge for many years was Mycroft Holmes, the only man in history more intelligent than Sherlock Holmes? Listen in Further Studies in Statecraft how Mycroft turns the Ripper and the Dreyfus affairs to Great Britain's advantage, extends the political career of Winston Churchill, deals with Hitler's girlfriends and his only Jewish Field-Marshal, and bests American President, Ronald Crump, in a trade negotiation. The political stratagems are straight out of the textbook of Niccolò Machiavelli.

During the dread reign of the Cholera in New York, I had accepted the invitation of a relative to spend a fortnight with him in the retirement of his cottage orné on the banks of the Hudson. We had here around us all the ordinary means of summer amusement; and what with rambling in the woods, sketching, boating, fishing, bathing, music and books, we should have passed the time pleasantly enough, but for the fearful intelligence which reached us every morning from the populous city.
