A mysterious stranger arrives in the small Herefordshire market town of Ledbury. He offers a solicitor, Anthony Midwinter, a generous sum to look after a package for him until spring, no questions asked. The stranger warns that it must remain sealed or else the very stability of England will come under threat. The Ledbury Lamplighters see out the year with a public ceremony extinguishing the town's lamps, a local tradition. A prominent local businessman is brutally murdered in full view of the revellers.

Lamplighters are known by their light. In the 1800's, streets were illumined by lamplighters. They would walk down the street, lighting lamps one by one. As the sun would set, you would lose sight of them, and you would only know they were there because the lights would continue to be lit, one by one. The Lamp Lighter Effect is a collection of 12 leadership principles that allow you to share your light with the world, create a successful business, and be known by your long term impact. This is a podcast for leaders. This podcast begins with 12 episodes outlining each of the 12 principles.
