Description

When Dr James Dalcott is shot dead in his cottage it looks very much like an execution. And as DI Wesley Peterson begins piecing together the victim's life, he finds that the well-liked country doctor has been harbouring strange and dramatic family secrets.

Meanwhile, archaeologist Neil Watson has discovered a number of skeletons in nearby Tailors Court that bear marks of dissection and might be linked to tales of body snatching by a rogue physician in the sixteenth century. But when Neil finds the bones of a child buried with a 1930s coin, the investigation takes a sinister turn.

Who were the children evacuated to Tailors Court during World War II And where are they now When a link is established between the wartime evacuees and Dr Dalcott's death, Wesley is faced with his most challenging case yet.

Reviews

"An increasingly impressive series . . . With plotting elaborate enough to satisfy the most demanding aficionado of the traditional whodunit, she takes care not to neglect characterisation with very satisfying results. A thoroughly enjoyable novel." "Tangled Web""
"Ellis weaves a compelling take of murder, mystery, archaeology and greed." "Good Book Guide""
