Product Description
Adam Hendry is a popular archaeologist, famed for uncovering burial sites and bringing ancient corpses' history alive for a TV audience. But when he discovers the body of a young woman in the tomb of Sir Gilbert de Carris in a medieval charnel house, his easy relationship with the past is shattered forever. The body, it turns out, is far from medieval, and the church suddenly becomes the scene of a present-day murder investigation. Complicating things further is the fact that the lead detective on the case is his brother, Pete, a man already beginning to unravel under the burden of a series of unsolved murders - all young women, just like the girl in the tomb. Now Adam has a series of mysteries to solve: who is the young woman? How is her death related to the other victims? Why would the murderer bury her in this bizarre manner? How does her story intersect with that of Sir Gilbert, who was himself murdered in mysterious circumstances? And what is the secret that Pete cannot share with his own brother - a secret that could destroy them both?
