As London grows colder, the stakes grow higher.

Industry tightens its grip on the city, and power no longer hides in alleys-it operates behind polished doors and iron frameworks. Arthur Bell is drawn into cases where the machinery of progress masks crimes meant never to surface.

In Steel Before Dawn, sabotage and silence collide as Bell uncovers a plot buried within the city's industrial backbone.

In The Crown's Silent Wires, a case tied to royal interests forces Bell to navigate secrecy at the highest levels, where truth is dangerous and discretion is enforced.

These investigations mark a turning point-where crime is no longer isolated, and justice threatens systems designed to endure.

Early Cases: Volume Two continues the foundation of Arthur Bell's career, where every solution carries political weight and every mistake echoes far beyond the crime itself.
