We all have secrets. Those secret secrets that we keep to ourselves for the sake of honour, intimacy, face-saving, keeping promises, and for a myriad of other circumstances in which we opt to keep affairs solely in the jurisdiction of our minds where we have control over them. But what happens when refusing to reveal our secrets can have lethal consequences for us? Shall we accept death with our honour and/or promises unbroken? Or shall we reveal our intimacies while putting our reputation and that of others at stake? This my dear reader was the predicament of the young Richard Radford, a lad from the English market-town of Ullathwaite who was charged with the murder of an accountant and rent-collector called Roger Maidment. Even with his life at risk, young Richard refused to say anything to anybody regarding his whereabouts in the evening of the murder: October 17, 1899. His obstinate silent attitude would leave the whole town baffled in a curious case where both prosecution and defence shared a common uncertainty as to how to proceed. While reading The Solution of a Mystery you’ll come to discover how the secrets we hide, in certain extraordinary circumstances, can become the mysteries of the ages. . . until now.
