He has also written books on law as J. A land-development company looking to plow roads and build houses in the woods owned by Steven Brand-Ruckley comes into conflict with an environmental group. Meanwhile Landon finds another body; this time, it is that of a young student from New Zealand , who is distantly related to Brand-Ruckley. A critic for Kirkus Reviews commented that the book offers an "interesting background and convoluted plot, though not quite enough of likable, curmudgeonly Detective Chief Inspector Culpeper—and a bit too much of nebbishy Arnold.

It is the body of an intinerant gypsy, horribly butchered and abandoned.

Landon is subsequently threatened by the members of a cult known to favor blood sacrifice, but when he contacts the local authorities to discuss his suspicions that the cult members are involved in the killing, his fears are dismissed offhandedly. Landon is later the victim of a horrendous assault. Sybil Steinberg, writing in Publishers Weekly, called The Devil Is Dead an "intelligent, nicely textured mystery [that] gathers speed and races to a thrilling conclusion. Landon's adventures continue in Bloodeagle, which finds the archaeologist inspecting the excavation site for a new bridge.

A Publishers Weekly reviewer commented less favorably on the book, noting that while many of the author's stories are "crisply plotted," this one is "overwrought. Arnold Landon's sixteenth adventure, titled Grave Error, finds the timid archaeologist testifying in court about the authenticity of a cauldron, reputed to be a Celtic artifact, that is stolen and sold on the black market. Although Landon finds the cauldron to be authentic, his expertise is undermined by James MacLean, a professor with considerably more personal style than Landon possesses.

Landon ends up disgraced. A Publishers Weekly reviewer commented that while this story's plot is not inherently suspenseful, "the book's strength lies in the relationships among the characters. Lewis once told CA: Many of these are concerned with scandals in Victorian society.

I have also read pieces on law and life in Victorian Northumberland on the radio program Brought to Justice. Fiction remains an escape, but Victorian studies now take up more of my time.
