Lodge of the Golden Windhorse
A death at a New Age commune brings Barnaby into a world of mysticism, money and carefully remade identities.
Casebook interpretation
Welcome to Lodge of the Golden Windhorse
Lodge of the Golden Windhorse is principally known through one case, making this a compact story-location file rather than a claim to a complete village history. Its recorded case material places it in the Casebook's eccentric territory.
Editorial interpretation Where the programme has not established a resident, building or piece of geography, the Casebook leaves it unstated rather than turning inference into canon.
