Diamond in the Dust

Having been implicated in several burglaries, the notorious Bishop brothers fled the Oxfordshire countryside to disappear into the streets of Victorian London. They might have remained more or less forgotten in their home town, but twenty years on, two suspicious deaths and the discovery of a hidden jewel worth a small fortune bring them to the attention of the police again. Clock repairer Jacob Silver and his wife Sarah join forces with the police in a case that takes them from the Cotswolds to London and back again to learn why the Bishops fled – and why they have returned home to die.

'Diamond in the Dust' is the fourteenth novel in the Silver and Simm Victorian Mysteries series.
