It is 1899. The Reverend George Hobb has been attacked by a gang and is now recovering, bloodied and bruised, in a dark prison cell. A York-based barrister, James Cairn, is called to defend Hobb in what appears to be an open-and-shut case, except for one thing: the Reverend has swapped his dog collar for a woman's dress. The authorities are determined to make an example of Hobb - but why? Can Cairn prove his innocence? After receiving a blackmail threat, Cairn hires Mortimer Blakely, a private investigator. When Blakely mysteriously goes missing, Cairn realises that his own life is in danger.

It is 1897. 18-year-old Daniel Robertshaw has always been an outsider. Naive and childlike, he is shunned by his neighbours in the Yorkshire fishing port of Staithes. When Daniel discovers the dead body of a young girl washed up on the rocks, he is immediately assumed guilty of killing her. As the city of York prepares for a murder trial, more questions arise. Who is the young girl? Her body has not been claimed. Will Daniel be able to prove his innocence? Fossil-collecting barrister, James Cairn, knows Daniel and is willing to represent him in court. He faces a struggle to prove Daniel's innocence, but first he must find the real killer.

This is a love story, a spy story and a story of resolution.
