'A beguiling author who interweaves past and present' The
Times
DI Wesley Peterson has never witnessed such a bizarre crime scene. A man
has been brutally murdered by two precise wounds to his neck and his
body drained of blood.
It seems that the victim was not a popular man in the Devon area and
Wesley doesn't have a shortage of suspects. But then two more victims
are found killed in an identical fashion.
As if Wesley didn't have enough to investigate, Wesley's friend,
archaeologist Neil Watson, begins to receive disturbing anonymous
letters about macabre events at a medieval abbey. The gory details bare
resemblance to the recent deaths and Neil fears they are being sent by
the killer.
Wesley and Neil are forced to face shocking revelations as they come
face to face with a murderer scarred by past sins.
Whether you've read the whole series, or are discovering Kate Ellis's
DI Wesley Peterson novels for the first time, this is the perfect
page-turner if you love reading Elly Griffiths and Ann Cleeves.
