MYSTERY. When Maggie Kaye and Sam Dee join the Bishops Well
archaeological dig, they are as surprised as everyone else to

can't possibly be the remains of an ancient Celt. Maggie, with her
usual flair - and psychic intuition - is convinced that there is
more to this discovery than meets the eye. And some Bishops
residents seem to know a lot more about the case than they are
willing to let on. But nobody is as shocked as Maggie when a face

in the village, and long-hidden secrets begin to surface. With
danger at her door, and Sam by her side, can Maggie uncover the

A totally gripping Wiltshire mystery: the fifth book in the
unputdownable DI Gillian Marsh series. Perfect for fans of Lisa
Regan and J.R. Ellis. When a body is found in the grounds of a
prestigious Wiltshire private school, DI Gillian Marsh takes on the
case. The young groundsman, Bradley Watson, has been shot dead,
pierced through the heart with an arrow. As the investigation
gathers pace, DI Marsh is frustrated to find the Whalehurst staff
and students united in silence. This scandal must not taint their
reputation. But when Gillian discovers pictures of missing
Whalehurst pupil, fifteen-year-old Rachel Snyder, on Bradley's dead
body - photos taken on the night she disappeared, and he was
murdered - the link between the two is undeniable. But what is
Whalehurst refusing to reveal? And does Gillian have what it takes
to bring about justice? What readers are saying about Anna Legat:

Seit fruhesten Zeiten verlassen Menschen aufgrund von Kriegen,
Umweltkatastrophen oder auf der Suche nach Nahrung ihr Geburtsland,
um sich in einem anderen Land niederzulassen und eine neue Existenz
zu grunden. Wandern ist ein wichtiger Teil des menschlichen Lebens
und ein Grundbedurfnis, dem Menschen seit Jahrtausenden folgen.
Internationale Migration, der grenzuberschreitende Fluss von
Menschen zwischen Nationen, hat im Zuge der Globalisierung deutlich
an Bedeutung gewonnen. Durch die Verbesserung und Kostensenkung von
Transport- und Kommunikationsmitteln sowie die Schliessung von
Handelsabkommen zwischen Nationen und die daraus resultierende
Offnung von Landesgrenzen haben Wanderungen uber grossere Distanzen
hinweg zugenommen. Mit der Zunahme des Globalisierungsprozesses
haben sich Migrationspolitik, Ursachen internationaler Migration
und die Moglichkeiten Distanzen zu uberwinden geandert, weshalb
sich im Laufe der Zeit neue Migrationsmuster und -formen
herausgebildet haben. Besonders die wachsende Bedeutung temporarer
Wanderung hat den Charakter der Wanderungsbewegungen verandert. Das
vorliegende Buch beschaftigt sich mit Migration sowie dem relativ
neuen Migrationstypus und Lebensmodell des Transnationalismu
