To this day, the low, thin wail of an infant can be heard in
Keldale's lush green valleys. Three hundred years ago, as legend
goes, the frightened Yorkshire villagers smothered a crying babe in
Keldale Abbey, where they'd hidden to escape the ravages of
Cromwell's raiders.
Now into Keldale's pastoral web of old houses and older secrets
comes Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley, the eighth earl of
Asherton. Along with the redoubtable Detective Sergeant Barbara
Havers, Lynley has been sent to solve a savage murder that has
stunned the peaceful countryside. For fat, unlovely Roberta Teys
has been found in her best dress, an axe in her lap, seated in the
old stone barn beside her father's headless corpse. Her first and
last words were "I did it. And I'm not sorry."
Yet as Lynley and Havers wind their way through Keldale's dark
labyrinth of secret scandals and appalling crimes, they uncover a
shattering series of revelations that will reverberate through this
tranquil English valley--and in their own lives as well.
"From the Paperback edition."
