Clarissa Miller – feminist writer, widowed by the Great War but now fighting battles far stranger.

Constable Wilson – full of youthful eagerness to get stuck into a mystery, always at risk of not being able to pull himself out again.

Dogberry – the strange old man with experience of times and places he should have no knowledge of.

Follow their adventures in a time-travelling police station as they encounter monsters, flappers, and arrogant detectives, before seeing the terrible consequences their travels can have…
