Latimer Field, humble curate of St Mary’s Church in the sleepy English town of Banfield enjoys his work curing souls and preaching sermons. But when his keen sense of justice leads to an altercation with a burglar, he finds himself thrown into a world of crime and villainy! In these twelve tales, Field finds himself tacking all manner of disturbances of the peace, from anarchist plots to stolen government secrets; gypsy curses to apparently haunted houses.

Originally published in 1903, these vintage Edwardian crime stories are available once more for modern readers to rediscover in this new digital edition.
