BerysTHE DETECTIVEPlanning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.ARNOLD LANDON SERIESBook 1: MURDER IN THE BARNBook 2: MURDER IN THE MANORBook 3: MURDER IN THE FARMHOUSEBook 4: MURDER IN THE STABLEYARDBook 5: MURDER IN THE CHURCHBook 6: MURDER IN THE HOUSEBook 7: MURDER IN THE TOWERBook 8:
