Weekly Starred Review When lightning strikes an ancient crypt, it
exposes a devastating wartime secret in this compelling
psychological thriller. 1967. In a quiet village in the wild lands
of the Scottish borders, disgraced academic Cordelia Hemlock is
trying to put her life back together. Grieving the loss of her son,
she seeks out the company of the dead, taking comfort amid the
ancient headstones and crypts of the local churchyard. When
lightning strikes a tumbledown tomb, she glimpses a corpse that
doesn't belong among the crumbling bones. But when the storm passes
and the body vanishes, the authorities refuse to believe the claims
of a hysterical 'outsider'. Teaming up with a reluctant witness,
local woman Felicity Goose, Cordelia's enquiries all lead back to a
former POW camp that was set up in the village during the Second
World War. But not all Gilsland's residents welcome the two young
women's interference. There are those who believe the village's
secrets should remain buried . whatever the cost.
