It's not only secrets that are buried by the water... A gripping
crime thriller from bestseller master Nick LouthOn the tree-lined
banks of Surrey's River Wey, a decaying corpse is dug up by workmen
in the middle of an Anglo-Saxon burial site. His modern dental
fillings show that this is no Dark Age corpse... DCI Craig Gillard
is called in, but the body's condition makes identification
difficult. One man, however, seems to fit the bill: Ozzy Blanchard,
a contractor employed by the same water firm doing the digging who
disappeared six months ago, his crashed company car found nearby.
But then an X-ray of the corpse throws the investigation into
turmoil. A shard of metal lodged in his neck turns out to be part
of an Anglo-Saxon dagger unknown to archaeologists. Who wielded
this mystery weapon and why? Does the answer lie in a murderous
feud between two local families? The deeper Gillard digs, the more
shocking truths he will uncover. A totally original crime mystery
that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Body Amongst
the Willows is an absolute thrill-ride, perfect for fans of Michael
Connelly, Ann Cleeves and Mark Billingham.
