Peter Diamond's tenth case is a perfect piece of superbly
entertaining crime fiction from a master of the genre. Battle and
burial are built into the history of Lansdown Hill, so it is no
great shock when part of a skeleton is unearthed there. But Peter
Diamond, Bath's Head of CID, can't ignore the fresh corpse found
close to the folly known as Beckford's Tower. The hill becomes the
setting for one of the most puzzling cases he has investigated,
involving golf, horseracing, Civil War re-enactment and the
Cyrillic alphabet. Inevitably, Diamond butts heads with the group
of vigilantes who call themselves the Lansdown Society, discovering
in the process that his boss Georgina is a member. She resolves to
sideline Diamond by sending him to Bristol and handing the skeleton
investigation to his deputy, Keith Halliwell. Fortunately matters
don't pan out as Georgina plans...
