Million-copy bestselling author Kate Ellis returns with the brand
new book in the DI Wesley Peterson crime series. 'A beguiling
author who interweaves past and present' THE TIMES November. With
the tourist season well and truly over in South Devon, Detective
Inspector Wesley Peterson is looking forward to a quieter month in
the CID. But when a man is shot dead on Bonfire Night, he finds he
has a disturbing murder case on his hands. The body of Patrick
North was found in woodland connected to Nesbaraton Hall, a grand
estate dating back to the eighteenth century. North worked for the
Smithson family who now own the estate. The family are away on
holiday, however when an anonymous letter threatening to abduct the
Smithson son is uncovered, Wesley fears North's death might have
been collateral damage in a kidnap plot. Meanwhile, archaeologist
Dr Neil Watson discovers a hidden grotto on land that was once part
of the Nesbaraton estate. Evidence of past rituals and the shocking
discovery of a skeleton raise questions about strange occurrences,
past and present, on the land. Then, just when Wesley's team seem
to be making progress in their investigation, a resident of the
nearby village is killed in a near-identical shooting to North's. A
race is on to find the ruthless killer, before they strike again .
. . 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 page-turner if you love reading Ann Cleeves and Elly
Griffiths. Praise for Kate Ellis . . . 'Clever plotting hides a
powerful story of loss, malice and deception' Ann Cleeves
'Haunting' Independent 'The chilling plot will keep you spooked and
thrilled to the end' Closer 'Unputdownable' Bookseller 'A fine
storyteller, weaving the past and present in a way that makes you
want to read on' Peterborough Evening Telegraph
