In this "chilling and entirely believable"* mystery, forensic
archaeologist Ruth Galloway and DCI Harry Nelson investigate a set
of remains buried in the foundations of an old country manor--but
as soon as they get close to cracking the case, Ruth becomes the
killer's next target. *Richmond Times-Dispatch When a child's
remains are found at a demolition site--a former children's home in
Norwich--forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway is called in to
examine the bones. She quickly notes that the skull is missing. Is
this a Roman-era ritual sacrifice, or is the killer closer at hand?
Ruth and DCI Nelson seek out the priest who served as the home's
operator. Father Hennessey reports that two children had gone
missing there, about forty years earlier. They were never found. Is
this one of them, finally unearthed? Or another child altogether?
Ruth is drawn into the case, but soon it becomes clear that someone
is trying very hard to put her off the trail by frightening her,
and her unborn child, half to death.
