Bedlam is set between Victorian Gothic Volumes 2 and 3. Following a murder attempt by an unknown assailant, Constance Bentwith and Dr Westcott must solve the puzzle of who is behind the attack while fending off the ambitious machinations of Dr Jennings, the Head of Medicine on the criminal wing of the infamous asylum.

Set on 18th June 1815, the day of the Battle of Waterloo, The Gentleman Volunteers follows the hapless 2nd Marquess of Buckingham. How far is the Marquess willing to go to earn the title of duke when asked to help defeat Napoleon in the most puzzling of ways?
