Product Description

Review
'A beguiling author who interweaves past and present.' THE TIMES 'Ellis skillfully interweaves ancient and contemporary crimes in an impeccably composed tale.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Product Description
When a skeleton is discovered on a Devon smallholding, DS Wesley Pterson, a keen amateur archeologist, is intrigued by the possibility that it is a Viking corpse, buried in keeping with ancient traditions. But he has a rather more urgent crime to solve- the disappearance of a Danish tourist. Wesley finds disturbing evidence that the attractive Dane has been abducted. His boss Gerry Heffernan believes that Ingeborg's disappearance is linked to a spate of brutal robberies and that she witnessed something she shouldn't have. But is her disappearance linked to far older events? For it seems that this may not have been Ingeborg's first visit to this far from quiet West Country backwater...Kate Ellis's wonderfully addictive series of West Country set crime novels feature Wesley Peterson, one of Devon's first black detectives.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best yet !, 16 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This forth in the "Wesley" series is without the best yet, full of twist and turns that will keep you absorbed to the last page. Kate Ellis has put together an outstanding story that is pushing her to award status. Can't wait for number five.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Viking Raid par excellence, 27 Jan 2009
I was disappointed with the previous Ellis novel but so pleased I've kept the faith with her. This is brilliant, so hard to fault. Her research as ever is thorough and she uses it to weave this complex tale of a missing Danish woman with the Viking raids on the West Country. Chapter headings give graphic detail of the excesses of the Vikings against the monasteries and the contemporary story moves with it seamlessly. Rachel emerges as a character who is becoming as important as Wesley Peterson and the whole team is involved in the complexities of a farming and tourist community at the centre of crimes spreading from Denmark and out into the sea beyond Tradmouth. Even Pauline is involved after joining a local acting group and coming out of her miserable patch with her crying baby and her stay-at-home life. Neil, the archaeologist, is a vital part of the gel which holds the time slip together. Superb. On to the next!
