Are you seeking an enticing new mystery series, filled with first-rate characters, and breathtaking twists and turns?

Then meet Arnold Landon, mild-mannered history buff turned amateur sleuth.

“The skilful Mr Lewis has made Arnold Landon an unforgettable character.” New York Times

Originally published as The Cross Bearer.

Colin Bannock is hiding quite the secret.

By day, he’s a smooth-talking lawyer. After hours, he is someone else entirely.

He corners Arnold Landon, wanting him to join his society of history fanatics.

Appalled, Arnold declines outright. He’s never been a joiner and, besides, he has enough on his plate already.

He is hunting for a lost and ancient treasure. And he knows the hiding place is close.

Then Bannock’s body washes up on the banks of the River Tyne, battered and bloated beyond recognition.

Was he also chasing the mythic treasure?

The race is on to claim the hoard.
And someone out there will stop at nothing to get there first.

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

What everyone is saying about the Arnold Landon mysteries:

“Assembling layer upon layer of details . . . Lewis brings an insidious cleverness to his latest offering . . . canny enough to keep us enthralled.” Publishers Weekly

“A pleasure to pick up.” Irish Times

“Right atmosphere of menace in this highly charged mystery.” Booklist

“This intelligent, nicely textured mystery gathers speed andraces to a thrilling conclusion.” Kirkus

“Good Northern atmosphere and neatly satisfying plot.” Times Literary Supplement

“Always a good read.” Berys

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.

Great, interesting combination

Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2022

I really love this series. The well crafted combination of the characters, architecture, history and policing make for a really interesting read. Arnold goes his quiet way about things and meets some great characters on his travels. I really like how his world is slowly expanding and he’s becoming comfortable in his own skin. Some great twists and turns in the story make me want to keep reading and I can’t put these books down.

An intriguing story. Landon goes once again to great lengths to find the answers to the Templar mystery. I loved the hunt and chase that found out many unsavoury characters.

Good Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2022

Another tale involving the man whose interest in old buildings and stonework gets him into all sorts of scrapes. With numerous red-herrings and the usual twist in the tail, this book is best read in sequence with the others in this series to keep abreast of the cast of characters.

More sinister echoes from the Knights Templar and the vaguely Masonic. Buried treasure found but stays buried - nearly entombing Arnold too…an exciting read to the last, but I’m beginning to feel a bit Knights Templar-ed out…please can we get back to architecture?

Another great story in the Arnold Landon series. It is amazing the scrapes he gets himself into due to his love and interest in history and more importantly the material used. Looking forward to reading more in the series.

Read several Arnold Landon books by Roy Lewis. I like the way that places like Morpeth actually exist. I have been there when on holiday in the area. Also the bits of incidental history that go with the main plot. That part of England has a varied and interesting past.
