A skeleton discovered. A murder to be solved . . . On a stormy
night in December, a tree is blown down on an isolated Devon farm.
When the fallen tree is dragged away, a rucksack is found caught
amongst the roots - and next to it is a human skeleton. The
discovery of the body and the rucksack revives memories for DI
Wesley Peterson. A young hitchhiker who went missing twelve years
ago was last seen carrying a similar backpack. Suddenly a
half-forgotten cold case has turned into a murder investigation.
Meanwhile, in the nearby village of Petherham, a man is found dead
in suspicious circumstances whilst staying at a local guesthouse.
Wesley's friend, archaeologist Neil Watson, is studying Petherham's
ancient mill and uncovering the village's sinister history. Could
the string of mysterious deaths in Petherham over a hundred years
ago be connected to the recent killings? As Wesley digs deeper into
the case, it seems that the dark whisperings of a Burial Circle in
the village might not be merely legend after all . . . Whether
you've read the whole series, or are discovering Kate Ellis's DI
Wesley Peterson novels for the first time, this is the perfect,
gripping mystery if you love reading Elly Griffiths and Ann
Cleeves. PRAISE FOR KATE ELLIS: 'A beguiling author who interweaves
