A hole has appeared in Denning Road, and when DS Clough jumps down into
it he discovers that it is actually part of a tunnel system. Did a
Jesus-like figure disappear down it? DCI Harry Nelson also has another
missing person on his hands, but he is more interested in the medieval
bones forensic anthropologist Ruth Galloway has on her hands.
A few days after this DS Judy Johnson discovers the body of a rough
sleeper right on the steps of the police station. He has a knife in his
chest. This is the man who had informed Nelson of the missing woman.
At the same time, Ruth gets a call from the lab informing her that the
bones she has are recent.
At the weekend another rough sleeper is found stabbed to death. He was
one that Johnson had interviewed. Later in the week another woman goes
missing. What is the connection to the other missing woman? Are the
cases of the deaths and the missing women related?
Things change when the partner of DS Clough goes missing. At this
point, the pace of author Elly Griffiths' murder mystery rapidly picks
up. The reader is in for an exciting conclusion. A very good, quick
read.
