'A beguiling author who interweaves past and present' The
Times
A stir is caused in Tradmouth when a letter arrives at the police
station claiming that the man convicted of murdering the Vicar of
Belsham is innocent. DI Wesley Peterson already has his hands full with
threats made to local supermarket chain, Huntings - the last thing he
needs is an alleged miscarriage of justice to investigate.
Meanwhile, Wesley's friend, archaeologist Neil Watson, uncovers a
medieval plague pit at a site near Belsham church earmarked for
Huntings' new superstore. As Wesley's investigations continue, he begins
to suspect that the vicar's murder, the disappearance of a woman and the
threats to the supermarket may be linked in some way.
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.
