Description
Set in 1796, Scarlet Town is a gripping mystery that follows Laurence Jago as he returns to his home town of Helston, Cornwall, after a tumultuous escape from America. There, he finds himself embroiled in a heated election that has the town's inhabitants at odds with each other. When one of the two men eligible to vote dies under suspicious circumstances, Laurence is tasked with investigating on behalf of the Duke of Leeds. As he delves deeper into the case, he must navigate a complex web of rivalries and alliances, all while confronting his own family's dark past.
With the help of his larger-than-life employer, William Philpott, Laurence must untangle the threads of a decades-old feud that threatens to destroy the town. But as the stakes rise, Laurence begins to suspect that nothing is as it seems, and that the truth behind the election and the murder may be more sinister than he ever imagined.
