The story
Beneath the apparent order of Victorian society, a series of troubling events begins to suggest a concealed design. Inspector James Withers and Felix Rimmington are drawn towards forces whose power depends on remaining unexamined.
As forensic reason meets secrecy, persuasion and fear, The Quiet Shepherd explores the ways authority can shape lives long before its workings become visible.
Historical background
Atmospheric fiction rooted in Victorian anxieties about secrecy, influence and the limits of reason.
