Synopsis

‘The Bells and Plate Fix’ is set against Cumberland’s biggest horse races, the Carlisle Racing Bells and the Cumberland Plate. When a bookie’s clerk is found face down in the River Eden, Inspector Armstrong believes there is more to his death than meets the eye. In ‘The Kaiser’s Assassin’, Armstrong’s holiday in the Lake District is disrupted when he is invited to meet Kaiser Wilhelm, who is visiting his friend, the 5th Earl of Lonsdale at Lowther Castle. A potent mix of characters leaves Armstrong feeling uncomfortable and as things threaten to spiral out of control over the following days, he faces a race against time to prevent a murder that will have repercussions across Europe.

About the Author

Martin Daley was born in Carlisle in 1964. He originally began writing after studying the life and times of his own ancestors. A writer of both fiction and non-fiction, another inspiration is his home city and its history which features in his books. Martin is a member of the Crime Writers' Association and in 2011 he completed the first volume of stories featuring his own local fictional detective - the Edwardian policeman, Inspector Cornelius Armstrong. Also a keen football fan, there was a certain inevitability about him turning his attentions to his hometown football club Carlisle United, which he did in 2012 with his account of their golden era.
