Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Day one into his new job and Constable Hope's got problems. Fat old Sergent Glorey's out to get him, his mysterious and compelling landlady has him mesmerised with her secret ways and her cooking, the townsfolk distrust him and to top it all he keeps having dark thoughts. Nothing as dark as the crimes of the people living in and around the district. In a landscape of aching beauty seeped in ancient customs and half remembered legends he must get a grip on himself before he can police the townsfolk. Constable John Hope had been brought up in the back streets of Victorian Derby. It seemed a dream come true when he was given his first job in the picture postcard market town, just as King Edward VII became King Emperor. But Hope soon finds he is lodging with a woman that many in the town think scandalous, and that he is working with a bullying comic fool of a Sergeant. Hours into his first day he discovers he has to confront and police the local gang that has ruled the town since Tudor times. Hope finds himself involved in investigations of thefts, murders and vicious sex crimes. And, as he embarks on his career he has no idea of the horrors to come and the ultimate betrayal he will face later in life from a force much more sinister and powerful than the town's rural mafia. Set in a beautiful and sometimes bleak landscape, and spanning the years from 1902 to 1953, Land of Hope and Glorey is the first in a series of books that chronicles the life, times and crimes of a market town in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "The Derwent Valley stretched south beyond him, flooded with golden sunlight from the solstice sun in the north west. Stanton Moor was fully illumined in glittering harsh gold to the right, and beyond that, the cooler emerald and lime green of the limestone country, stretched away to the south west. Hay scents came to his nostrils. There was the sound of sheep, the wind in the seeding grasses, a distant cow lowing, a cockerel far below and little else. Sighing, he was not quite sure why, Hope turned and looked up the Wye Valley towards Monsal Dale. The whole valley, as far as Fin Cop, where the river suddenly turns, shone under the blue. . ." By 1914 fissures were already appearing in society. The golden age of Edwardian England was over. Sunset was beginning on the Edwardian world. But it was also sunset for the bully Sergeant Glorey. Starting with an horrific murder that reaches far back into Derbyshire's past and culminating with the outbreak of war in 1914, in this volume of stories John Hope uncovers vicious violent sexual crimes that lie beneath the veneer of Victorian hypocrisy. As he deals with these horrors he must also confront the distorted view within society and himself of Oscar Wilde's "the crime that dare not speak its name". As the war draws ever nearer, Hope is embroiled in a life threatening confrontation with an Irish gang; yet this leads to his triumph over the bullying Sergeant Glorey and the outbreak of War in 1914 brings resolution of a kind for John Hope. SUNSET ON GLOREY is the second volume of the Derbyshire crime novels A LIFE OF HOPE, recounting the career of a Peak District police officer, John Hope, between 1902 and 1960. Set in the tranquil Peak District countryside, this fictional police officer confronts the darker side of Derbyshire life and conflicts within himself. This item is printed on demand.
