The Law and the Lady
Free
Three years ago, Valeria’s husband stood accused of murder. The jury had not evidence enough to convict him, but Valeria is sure he is innocent and sets out to prove it to the world. Valeria Woodville is one of English literature’s earliest women detectives — that makes The Law and the Lady historically remarkable. But it’s also a great fun mystery, full of plot and circumstance, and a rogue’s gallery of odd Dickensian characters.

THE POLICEMAN’S DISCOVERY “Eleven o’clock and a windy night!” might have been the cry of a mediæval watchman at that hour on the 24th July 19–. Constable Mulligan was more reticent, as it formed no part of his duties to intimate publicly the time or the state of the weather. Nevertheless the bells of the Anglican Church, Troy, London, S.W., chimed the hour through the clamour of a high wind; and those people who were not in bed must have decided to retire. Not that any one appeared to be stirring. The lights were extinguished in all windows within the range of Mulligan’s vision, and the flashing of his lantern on the doors and gates in Achilles Avenue showed that they were discreetly closed. Not even a tramp or a cat enlivened the roadway. Mulligan was apparently the sole waking person in a sleeping world. Troy was a bran-new suburb, built by a jerry-builder, who knew Greek history through the medium of Lempriere’s Dictionary.
