From the Back Cover
Stebton Place in Oxfordshire and the convent of Holy Retreat overlooking Dublin Bay: two great houses whose histories are curiously entwined by shameful, forgotten secrets. Forgotten that is, until Jeddie Stebton-Hillyard knocks on the convent door...
Anxious to salvage what remains of their decaying convent, the nuns of Holy Retreat seek the help of Terence Murphy-Dunne, a suave, manipulative Dublin solicitor who persuades them to move their graveyard and sell off the site to raise funds. But just as the last coffin is exhumed, an extra, unmarked lead casket is unearthed. It is a discovery that raises many questions: who is in it, how long has it been there, and what has the eccentric Jeddie Hillyard to do with it? Come to that how has she insinuated herself so successfully into Mother Guardian's confidence?
When lawyer Tess Callaway is drafted in, she too begins to raise awkward questions - questions which set in motion a disturbing chain of events. And all too soon Tess finds herself caught in a spiral of intrigue that places herself and her baby daughter in mortal danger.
Farewell to the Flesh is the stunningly powerful new murder mystery from one of today's most accomplished writers.
