"Todd's astute character studies . . . offer a fascinating cross
section of postwar life. . . . A satisfying puzzle-mystery." - The
New York Times Book Review Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge is
assigned one of the most baffling investigations of his career: an
unsolved murder case with an unidentified victim and a cold trail
with few clues to follow A woman has been murdered at the foot of a
megalith shaped like a great shrouded figure. Chief Inspector Brian
Leslie, one of the Yard's best men, is sent to investigate the site
in Avebury, a village set inside a prehistoric stone circle not far
from Stonehenge. In spite of his efforts, Leslie is not able to
identify her, much less discover how she got to Avebury-or why she
died there. Her killer has simply left no trace. Several weeks
later, when Ian Rutledge has returned from successfully concluding
a similar case with an unidentified victim, he is asked to take a
second look at Leslie's inquiry. But Rutledge suspects Chief
Superintendent Markham simply wants him to fail. Leslie was
right-Avebury refuses to yield its secrets. But Rutledge slowly
widens his search, until he discovers an unexplained clue that
seems to point toward an impossible solution. If he pursues it and
he is wrong, he will draw the wrath of the Yard down on his head.
But even if he is right, he can't be certain what he can prove, and
that will play right into Markham's game. The easy answer is to let
the first verdict stand: Person or persons unknown. But what about
the victim? What does Rutledge owe this tragic young woman? Where
must his loyalty lie?
