'A beguiling author who interweaves past and present' The
Times
When builders converting Chadleigh Hall, a former school, into a luxury
hotel discover a skeleton in a sealed room, DI Wesley Peterson is called
in to investigate.
Soon Wesley has a second suspicious death on their hands: a team of
marine archaeologists working on a nearby shipwreck off the Devon coast
have dragged a woman's body from the sea.
As Wesley investigates Chadleigh Hall's past and the woman's violent
death, both trails lead in surprising directions. Matters are further
complicated when a man wanted for murder in London appears on the
scene - a man who may know more about the case than he admits . . .
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.
