She lives happily alone with her cats in a remote area near Norfolk, land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants--not quite earth, not quite sea. But her routine is harshly upended when a child's bones are found on a desolate beach. Detective Chief Inspector Nelson calls Ruth for help, believing the bones to be the remains of Lucy Downey, a little girl who went missing a decade ago and whose abductor taunts him with bizarre letters referencing ritual sacrifice, Shakespeare, and the Bible. Then a second girl goes missing and Nelson receives a new letter--exactly like the ones about Lucy. <p/> Is it the same killer? Or a copycat murderer, linked in some way to the site near Ruth's remote home?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ELLY GRIFFITHS is the author of the Ruth Galloway and Magic Men mystery series, and the standalone novel <i>The Stranger Diaries</i>. She is a recipient of the Mary Higgins Clark Award and the CWA Dagger in the Library Award.
