Synopsis

A gripping historical murder mystery involving Dr Adam Bascom, a young Norfolk physician. One morning in 1791, he trips over a body in a local churchyard. The dead man is a gentleman, well dressed and prosperous. The local vicar, summoned to bring help, then recognises the victim. It is the Archdeacon of Norwich! What brought such a senior church figure to such a remote and unlikely spot? Who might he have met? How did he die? Why wasn’t he robbed? Adam’s mind is full of questions. Yet when an inquest is held, it’s clear the authorities are intent on covering things up. This death is to be accepted as a bizarre accident, without further investigation.Adam’s curiosity and sense of justice cannot accept it. He has no standing that would allow him to become involved formally, so he uses friends, old and new, unexpected contacts and even his own mother to help him get to the truth. As he does, he finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into the murky world of crime, espionage and extremism.“An Unlamented Death” is the first book in a series following the career of Dr. Adam Bascom in the often surprising world of late-Georgian England. As the country slides into war with Revolutionary France and the future looks ever darker, Adam finds his way in life is to be based on a most unexpected set of talents.
