DS Wesley Peterson and DI Gerry Heffernan have been called out to an
archeological site where two skeletons have been found. The pathologist
agrees that they are a couple of centuries old, so nothing for the
police to be concerned about. Peterson is surprised at the name of the
original tenant; it is the same as his mother’s maiden name.
The next day an anonymous phone call informs the police of a body in the
local caravan site. After an extensive search the body of a young man,
who has been stabbed in the back is found in one of the caravans. A
young witness is able to provide a very good description of the killer.
Unfortunately when Peterson is supposed to meet with the supposed
culprit, he seems to have disappeared into thin air! His body is found a
few hours later. Murder or an accident?
Author Kate Ellis’ murder mystery is written to parallel a similar one a
few centuries earlier. Peterson sees the parallels, but almost loses
one of his fellow officers before he solves the case. A good, quick
read.
