Story notes: No dead hobbits. Some long-dead Elves.

The inspiration for this story came while I was watching the DVD of the Inspector Morse mystery, "The Wench is Dead," in which the bedridden inspector solves an Oxford murder that happened over 150 years before. The story is an homage to a classic mystery story, Josephine Tey's "The Daughter of Time," in which another bedridden detective solves the mystery of what happened to the little Princes in the Tower.

As I was watching, I thought, "*I* have a semi-invalid detective! I could write a mystery like this." And so I have.

This story takes place in the spring of 1421 (S.R.), and begins just after the second anniversary of the Ring's destruction.

"The Tragedy of The White Lady of Gondolin" is based on the story of Aredhel and Eol in the Silmarillion (although some details have been changed).
