Life had moved on at Fordom since the death of Viscount Havington and his weaver Robert Peterson or so everyone thought. But life in Victorian Scotland had a way of coming back to haunt one and in this follow-up to The Damask Weaver, it came back in bucket loads. The Weaver's Daughter, brings the nineteen century to life in all its wonder: some good, some not so good, and some downright evil.
Life for a damask weaver in nineteenth century Scotland was never an easy one and never predictable if one happened to live and work on Fordom Estate. But Robert Peterson and his wife did just that. The consequences of working for the Havington family affected both the weaver and the Viscount, no more so than during the period between 1869 and 1875, and their story is told in detail in the Damask Weaver.
After his business partner's incarceration in Edinburgh Prison, Bob avoided JP Associates office at all costs. When he did eventually build up the courage to return, he soon wished he hadn't. Not even he, the infamous ex Detective Bob James could have guessed what Tracey would tell him, nor what was in store for them both.
When Private Investigator Tod Peterson finds himself incarcerated in Edinburgh Jail he goes looking for answers in the only way he knows how. He goes looking to the past. He'd heard often enough that the pen is mightier than the sword, and in his case that might make a welcomed change. Being handed that laptop by a fellow inmate meant taking up his weapon of choice.
A chance encounter with a young, well-dressed man at a bus-stop immediately outside the office of JP Associates takes the associates on a path that none of them could have imagined. Working for Josh takes them down a path that leads them to question their own motives and at times the existence of their own agency.
Justified Sinner takes the protagonist Tod Peterson on a journey from truth, as he sees it, through a world view that is fixed solidly in a belief that individual wealth is the curse which keeps working-class people down. This view leads Tod to commit heinous crimes in the belief that in so doing he can solve the problem. But things do not work out as he expected and are made worse by the fact that his best friend Bob James is a Detective Inspector with Police Scotland.
