About this product

Product Information

A gruesome discovery at an old children's home lays bare terrible secret's from Norwich's past in the second gripping mystery for Dr Ruth Galloway. 'The setting is enticingly atmospheric . . . a really intelligent murder story' Independent Dr Ruth Galloway's forensic skills are called upon when builders, demolishing an old house in Norwich, uncover the bones of a child - minus the skull - beneath a doorway. Is it some ritual sacrifice or just plain straightforward murder? Ruth links up with DCI Harry Nelson to investigate. The house was once a children's home. Nelson traces the Catholic priest who used to run the place. He tells him that two children did go missing forty years before - a boy and a girl. They were never found. When carbon dating proves that the child's bones predate the home and relate to a time when the house was privately owned, Ruth is drawn ever more deeply into the case. But as spring turns into summer it becomes clear that someone is desperate to put her off the scent by frightening her to death...

  • Elly Griffith's Book

    As well as receiving the book early, it was also new when I was expecting a used book. I was highly delighted until I realised that I'd ordered a different book and not the one I received.

  • The Janus Stone

    Not quite as absorbing as the first book in the series but definitely worth reading.Amidst the murder and intrigue Griffiths manages to inject some humour to lighten the mood.I am looking forward to book 3.
