Synopsis

Dr Ruth Galloway, forensic archaeologist, spends a lot of time looking at death. But now death has found her, with the news that her long-time friend Dan Golding has been killed in a house fire. Ruth's grief soon turns to suspicion of arson when she receives a desperate letter from Dan, sent the day before he died. He had made a ground-breaking discovery - and was petrified of the consequences.

Ruth is compelled to travel north to investigate further, alongside DCI Harry Nelson who is also drawn into the case. But where Ruth goes, so does her young daughter, Kate. This time, the risks are even higher.

About this title

Review:

A memorable, breathless race against time...One of the most cinematic finales in recent British crime novels (Daily Telegraph)

Griffiths weaves superstition and myth into her crime novels, skilfully treading a line between credulity and modern methods of detection (Sunday Times)

An admirably gutsy heroine (The Times)

Ruth Galloway is one of the most interesting new characters on the crime fiction scene (Good Book Guide)

All will enjoy Ruth's largely self-aware sardonic perspective on life, death, and relationships. (Publishers Weekly)

Once again, Griffiths does a great job of drawing us in to the chaotic, fractured world of Ruth Galloway, her unconventional, loveable heroine (CurledUp)

Book Description:

Forensic archaeologist, Dr Ruth Galloway's latest case will push her to the edge as she investigates crimes of the past and secrets in the present.
