These three mysteries are based on personal travels to the towns and locales described. A few minor liberties have been taken - especially with respect to the other characters in each story. In some cases reference is made to the state of the cities many years ago. Modernization has invariably taken place but the mysteries are as relevant today as they would have been decades ago. I love to travel and am only missing Antarctica in the continents still untouched. All places have stories to tell, secrets to reveal, and mysteries to unravel. One just has to think hard, outside one's own...

At the celebration party he encounters a lady crying at the loss of so many men who had served their country so well. The Captain listens to her poignant life story, and empathizes. He fights at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1807, but on return is devastated...

It is 1795 and Timothy Bartlett is the youngest member of his clan resident in Polperro, a remote fishing village on the south Cornish coast. He grows up in a tight-knit community whose world of interest stretches not much further than Plymouth to the east and Falmouth to the southwest. The rhythm of life in the village is essentially governed by the tides, and by the presence or absence of swarms of large sardine pilchards which migrate along the English Channel. Life is mundane, peaceful, and regular for years, until a stranger upsets the harmony of the village, and an unfortunate accident...
