Nell Bray is spending a few weeks with her brother's family in the Pennine Moors. She is here on holiday but, breathing in the good clean air, she detects a whiff of mystery. A mystery surrounding the murder of Osbert Newbiggin, squire of neighbouring Crowberry Hall, musical expert and pillar of the community. A mystery that most people think has been solved already. Davie Kendal, the dead man's protege, has been tried, found guilty, and is currently in gaol awaiting the death sentence. But Davie's barrister, Bill Musgrave, believes in his innocence and will stop at nothing to recruit Nell to his cause.
As Nell delves deep into the mystery she finds that the lives of both the dead man and his alleged killer were more complicated than they seemed. But time is running out and Davie will be executed in less than a week unless Nell can find concrete proof of his innocence.

The idea of our library is to preserve and share all the wonderful BBC material (as well as the other goodies that we've managed to collect).
BTW - the "we" is not an "imperial we" but reflects the enormous contributions of my business partner and life-long friend, Peter, who is a member here, but inactive.
