Shadow
Section C

Fortitudo, Curiositas, Misericordia

In 1883, the Metropolitan Police formed the Irish Bureau to counter Fenian violence. In the following decades, the unit expanded and became Special Branch, tasked with all covert policing operations. The official story ends there. This first hand account is unofficial. It is for you, my friend, and for you alone...

THE CURIOUS CASES MYSTERIES

It is 1899 and a wealthy art lover has been missing for seven years. A shocking secret hides within his collection. One that defies rational explanation. Enter an unlikely duo of Special Branch detectives.

Young, troubled and the recent victim of a ghostly haunting, Sidney Wainwright is reassigned to the mean spirited Frank Tarrant. Inspector Tarrant is a loner, notorious for his incompetence. Yet on their first case together, Wainwright learns his new superior is much more than he appears. Awaiting them is a sinister discovery that cannot be unseen.

The Case of the Silent Scream is the first of the Curious Cases Mysteries.

THE MAN BEHIND THE MYSTERIES

Sidney Wainwright’s alter ego is an author of fiction living in the South of England in the twenty-first century. Away from his writing, he is an administrative clerk and ferroequinologist. His love of history and mystery inspired the world of the Curious Cases. He often wonders whether he created Sidney or if Sidney created him.
