About this product

Product Information

A child's bones are discovered near the site of a pre-historic henge on the north Norfolk coast, and the police ask local forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway to date them. Are these the remains of a local girl who disappeared ten years ago? DCI Harry Nelson refuses to give up the hunt for this missing child. Ever since she vanished, someone has been sending him bizarre anonymous notes about ritual sacrifice, quoting Shakespeare and the Bible. He knows Ruth's instincts and experience can help him finally put this case to rest. Then a second child goes missing, and Ruth finds herself in danger from a killer who knows she's getting ever closer to the truth...

Thank you for your interest in our eBay shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. In the following we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.
 
1. Access Data and Hosting
You can visit our websites without giving any personal information. Whenever a website is called up, the web server merely automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call.
This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh the interests of the parties concerned. All access data will be deleted at the latest seven days after the end of your site visit.
 
2. Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing, Contact
Your personal data will be collected via eBay or directly by us if you provide them within the scope of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Both eBay and we act as responsible parties. All data collected via eBay will be processed on the eBay servers and in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract execution, or to process your contact with us.
Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases we need the data for the processing of the contract or for the processing of your contact and you cannot complete the order or send the contact without their indication. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide us with in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of processing contracts and handling your enquiries. After the contract has been fully executed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of any retention periods required by tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes which are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
 
3. Data Transfer
In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the bank commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service for the processing of payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you open an account there. In this case, you must log on to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
 
Data Transfer to Collection Agencies
In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR, we will pass on your data to a commissioned collection company if our payment claim has not been settled despite a previous reminder. In this case, the claim is collected directly by the collection agency. In addition, the disclosure serves to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh the interests of all parties involved, in the effective assertion or enforcement of our payment claim in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
 
4. Postal Advertising
Postal advertising and your right of objection
Furthermore, we reserve the right to use your first and last name as well as your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information on our products by letter post. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which outweigh the interests of our clients in the context of a weighing of interests, in addressing our clients in advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The advertising mailings are provided within the scope of processing on our behalf by a service provider to whom we pass on your data for this purpose. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.

* we no longer need the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
* you have lodged an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR
in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, the right to receive your personal data that you have provided us with in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another responsible party
pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

Recommended seller. CD dispatched promptly, seller not responsible for slight delay in delivery. Undamaged in transit, condition as described (very good). Competitive price for a rare 3-CD boxed set. No problems. Many thanks.

Arrived damaged - contrary to description. Large hardback packaged in jiffy bag. Probably damaged in transit -- sturdier packaging might have helped. Contacted seller to try to resolve (with photos). No reply. At time of purchase a number were of this price. Prices since had jumped up. I was interested in a resolution that involved keeping it - even if it meant a damaged gift. Would only use this seller for items where the condition is irrelevant and the price muuuuuch cheaper.

Item in Good condition as described (artwork/case in excellent condition, a few noticeable marks on disc but plays fine so no problem); delivery slightly later than estimate (was dispatched quickly and with tracking available, as have multiple previous orders which all arrived in around a week, so almost certainly just a bit of Easter disruption to postal services); safely packaged in padded envelope. Many thanks for usual excellent service at a great price.

    So pleased to have found this Author

    An excellent story with an interesting heroine - an archeologist who specialises in bones. Great descriptions of Norfolk scenery and buildings. The other recurring characters are unusual too. I would recommend this author to fans of Ann Cleeves.

    The Crossing Places

    I felt it was good for light reading e.g on railway journey or holiday but my first impression was that it was highly unlikely that police would so closely involve an archeologist in a murder enquiry. Believable for identifying ancient bones but not subsequently part of the police investigation and all the subsequent ramifications. I also thought there were too many dramas immediately following on from one another. I have probably read too many Jack Reacher books where there are a few breathers in between!

    Crime, mystery, archeology and passion mixed into a wonderful story!

    This is the first book by Elly Griffiths featuring the main character Ruth Galloway an archeologist living in Norfolk. She is called in to assist the police when they discover a body and her her life takes a dramatic turn involving murder and kidnap plots, pagan mystery, betrayal and a bit of lust thrown in for good measure. I couldn't out it down, it is an easy read with all the archealogical terms explained thanks to detective Nelson knowing nothing about archealogy and having to have all things defined for him! Probably more a read for the ladies and anyone who enjoys a crime story with some puzzle solving would like it. I bought books 2, 3, and 4 straight after I was finished with this one and am avidly awaiting the new title due out Jan 2013. Brilliant!

    A great read

    For a first novel there is some predictability in the narrative structure and it was too easy to guess whodunnit, but this is a well-written rollicking read set amid the haunting salt marshes of Norfolk. I have high hopes that the later books will be more difficult to unpack. I’ve already ordered No2.
