New Crowther and Westerman Novellas - The Devil’s Triptych

I’m delighted to say I’ve agreed to do three novella length Crowther and Westerman stories for Endeavour Ink. The idea is that as as soon as I finish each one, it will be released as an ebook, then when all three are complete they will be released together in book form. All three will be set during 1786 and though each can be read as a standalone, observant readers will notice threads in theme weaving between them. In the first, Mr Miller, As Found, a London art dealer arrives at Caveley Park, Harriet Westerman’s home in Sussex, in fear of his life. He carries a miniature showing the goddess Nemesis and begs for Harriet’s help, but before that help can be given he is found dead, and Crowther makes a shocking discovery. This murder has its roots in Rome and long ago.
