Tudor Mystery

Em 1986, Eddie e os amigos passam a maior parte dos dias andando de bicicleta pela pacata vizinhança em busca de aventuras. Os desenhos a giz são seu código secreto: homenzinhos rabiscados no asfalto; mensagens que só eles entendem. Mas um desenho misterioso leva o grupo de crianças até um corpo desmembrado e espalhado em um bosque. Depois disso, nada mais é como antes. Em 2016, Eddie se esforça para superar o passado, até que um dia ele e os amigos de infância recebem um mesmo aviso: o desenho de um homem de giz enforcado.

Das Mädchen sagt nur ein Wort: "Daddy". Sie blickt Gabe von der Rückbank des Autos vor ihm an. Dann ist der fremde Wagen verschwunden und mit ihm Gabes fünfjährige Tochter Izzy. Er wird sie nie mehr wiedersehen. Drei Jahre später verbringt Gabe seine Tage und Nächte noch immer damit, die Autobahn abzufahren, besessen von der Hoffnung, sie zu finden. Auch Fran und ihre Tochter Alice sind unterwegs auf den Straßen Englands. Aber sie sind nicht auf der Suche, sie sind auf der Flucht. Denn Fran kennt die Wahrheit. Sie weiß, was damals mit Izzy geschah.

Ein kleines Dorf in Sussex. Eine unheilvolle Legende. Und eine Pfarrerin, die die Ruhe der Geister stört. Vor 500 Jahren: Acht Märtyrer wurden bei lebendigem Leib verbrannt. Vor 30 Jahren: Zwei Mädchen verschwanden für immer. Vor zwei Monaten: Ein Pfarrer hat sich in der Kapelle erhängt. Willkommen in Chapel Croft. Für die Pfarrerin Jack Brooks und ihre Tochter Flo sollte es ein Neustart sein: neuer Job, neues Zuhause. Aber Jack stößt auf eine eingeschworene Dorfgemeinschaft, in der Misstrauen gegenüber Fremden tief verwurzelt ist.

Den värsta dagen i hans liv var inte när hans syster försvann ... Det var dagen då hon kom tillbaka. Joe ville aldrig återvända till Arnhill. Med tanke på hur det varit med hans gamla gäng - sveket, självmordet - och det som hände när hans syster försvann, ville han aldrig mer se sin hemstad.

Alles begann an dem Tag, als der zwölfjährige Eddie den Kreidemann zum ersten Mal traf. Der Kreidemann war es auch, der Eddie auf die Idee mit den Zeichnungen brachte: So konnten er und seine Freunde sich geheime Botschaften zukommen lassen. Und erst einmal hat es Spaß gemacht - bis die Figuren sie zur Leiche eines jungen Mädchens führten. Das ist 30 Jahre her, und Eddie denkt, die Vergangenheit liegt hinter ihm. Dann bekommt er einen Brief, der zwei Dinge enthält.

1326: Queen Isabella refuses to leave France and humiliates her husband, King Edward II, by flaunting her adulterous relationship with the arch-traitor Sir Roger Mortimer. The King is furious when he hears she has also betrothed their son to the daughter of the French Count of Hainault, and all England fears invasion. As news of an invasion fleet is received, the King’s knights, including Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, are commanded to London to protect the King and his realm.

Exeter, 1323. A strange man is entering people’s houses at night, causing panic amongst householders. Although many had thought him harmless, now he seems to have committed murder. A man lies dead in his own home, slaughtered merely for trying to protect his children, and the folk of Exeter want this menace caught and hanged. Sir Baldwin de Furnshill suspects that the solution isn’t that simple.

Apothecary John Rawlings has travelled to Devon to be by the side of his mistress, Elizabeth di Lorenzi, who is due to give birth to their child. Leaving his shop and his new carbonated water business in good hands, John is presented with a surprise on his arrival at Sidmouth House. While Elizabeth is recuperating, he learns that Lady Sidmouth's daughter, Miranda, is to marry the elderly Earl of St. Austell, who is 54 years her senior and has a cruel reputation.

Apothecary John Rawlings is intrigued when a letter arrives asking him to investigate an impostor claiming to be the long-lost step-son of a wealthy Bristol merchant in possession of his dead wife's diamond inheritance. John Rawlings' father, Sir Gabriel Kent joins him on the trip to take the healing waters at Hotwell where they socialize with the crème of Bristol society. But Rawlings is compelled to try and solve the mystery and so he must trawl through the underbelly of 18th-century society.

Apothecary John Rawlings has been summoned to Devon by Elizabeth di Lorenzi, his beautiful but unpredictable mistress. Leaving his young daughter Rose in the good care of her grandfather Sir Gabriel Kent, Rawlings sets off for Exeter on board the stagecoach. His fellow-passengers are a motley crew, and incelude a large and talkative German lady; Cuthbert Simms, a dance-master; and Jack Beef, the so-called ï¿¿ï¿¿ï¿¿Black Pyramid", a bare-knuckle fighter.

When King Edward II is informed that his wife, Queen Isabella, has defied him and remained in France with their son, he flies into a rage. It is Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and his friend Bailiff Simon Puttock who have broken the news to him and are now no longer in the king’s favour. They return to their homes in Devon, but they find that outlaws hold sway in the land. Sir Robert, a knight from the King’s household, has turned outlaw from his castle near Crediton. When a pair of clerics are found murdered, Baldwin and Simon are asked to investigate.

Quando Joe Thorne era adolescente, sua irmã mais nova desapareceu. Vinte e cinco anos depois, um e-mail anônimo o leva mais uma vez ao passado: “Eu sei o que aconteceu com sua irmã. Está acontecendo de novo.” Atolado em dívidas e bem longe do vilarejo onde cresceu, Joe precisa escapar das pessoas perigosas que estão atrás dele, mas também vê a oportunidade de resolver o que arrasta consigo há mais de duas décadas. Retornar a Arnhill parece a única opção.

En liten by. Ett mörkt förflutet. En farlig nuti... För 500 år sedan brändes åtta martyrer på bål. För 30 år sedan försvann två tonåringar spårlöst. För två månader sedan begick kyrkoherden självmord. Ett mörkt förflutet dröjer sig kvar i Chapel Croft. För femhundra år sedan blev protestanter i byn förrådda och sedan brända på bål. För trettio år sedan försvann två tonårsflickor spårlöst. Och för några veckor sedan hängde sig församlingens kyrkoherde i kyrkans mittskepp.

Sono trascorsi trent'anni. Ed Munster adesso è un uomo, è rimasto a vivere nella stessa cittadina e insegna nella scuola locale. Abita nella bella casa che gli ha lasciato la madre e affitta una stanza a una studentessa vivace da cui è attratto, suo malgrado. Ed sembra essersi lasciato il passato alle spalle, quell'estate del 1986 in cui era un ragazzino e trascorreva giorni interi con i suoi amici.

Sam Grant is tasked with the job of tracing the vendor of a painting that had come up for sale at a London auction room. Produced by a German Jewish artist who had perished in a Nazi concentration camp, the painting had been stolen from a schloss in Lower Saxony in World War Two. Then it had apparently vanished. Now it has surfaced 50 years later. So who had possessed it in those years? Grant has to find the answer for Gerda Hoffman, an attractive blonde. But the case turns out to be more dangerous and life-threatening than he could have anticipated…

Forty years ago, Exeter's Cathedral Close was the scene of a vicious ambush. Afterwards, the bodies left lying in their blood bore witness to the conflicts tearing at the heart of the cathedral itself. Today, in 1323, murder is again polluting the Cathedral Close - but this killer is not so easily caught. The victim, Henry Potell, was feared and hated; he held secrets that some wished to keep hidden....
