Description

Dan Corrigan wants to disappear, but life has other ideas.

Burnt out by the pressures of London life, Dan escapes to a Devonshire village, but he soon discovers an intriguing mystery.

An ancient legend, a coded message carved in stone, and a secret swept beneath the carpet by an upper-class family: all compelling clues.

And then a crime is committed.

Dan promises to solve the case, along with his new neighbour and unlikely ally, Alan, but they uncover a hidden history, and there are those who want the past undisturbed.

This challenge could be the tonic Dan needs, but once he begins, there’s no going back.

Can you solve this British mystery?

Find out when you join Dan and Alan as they chase down the clues in A Study in Stone.

NB: This Second Edition, published in July 2025, is based on the original novella of the same name but is more than twice as long, so you get more mystery, more crime, more clues, more suspects, and more fully rounded characters. Reader feedback was taken into account, so there’s a lot more of everything readers enjoy, and much less of what they don’t.
