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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eARNOLD LANDON SERIES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook 1: MURDER IN THE BARN\u003cbr\u003eBook 2: MURDER IN THE MANOR\u003cbr\u003eBook 3: MURDER IN THE FARMHOUSE\u003cbr\u003eBook 4: MURDER IN THE STABLEYARD\u003cbr\u003eBook 5: MURDER IN THE CHURCH\u003cbr\u003eBook 6: MURDER IN THE HOUSE\u003cbr\u003eBook 7: MURDER IN THE TOWER\u003cbr\u003eBook 8: MURDER UNDER THE BRIDGE\u003cbr\u003eBook 9: MURDER BY THE QUAY\u003cbr\u003eBook 10: MURDER AT THE FOLLY\u003cbr\u003eBook 11: MURDER IN THE FIELD\u003cbr\u003eBook 12: MURDER IN THE COTTAGE\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 18, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42122731651207,"sku":"9781804050880","price":14.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/6329d02ea81bf6cec6ae106731d7b92a.webp?v=1732561967","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/murder-in-the-cottage-an-addictive-crime-mystery-full-of-twists-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
