In 'The Norfolk Mystery', the first in the County Guides series, we meet Swanton Morley. Eccentric, autodidact - the 'People's Professor.' Morley plans to write a series of guides to the counties of England. He employs a young assistant, Stephen Sefton, veteran of the Spanish Civil War, and together with Morley's daughter, Miriam, they set off through Norfolk, where their sightseeing tour quickly turns into a murder investigation. As Morley confronts the conventions of class, education and politics in 1930s' England, as Sefton flees his memories of the war, and as Miriam seeks romance, join them on their first adventure into the dark heart of England. When Morley's map leads to mystery, no one is above suspicion!
