DI Wesley Peterson and DCI Gerry Heffernan have been called out to the
countryside where the body of a man has been discovered by a farmer.
There is a gunshot in the centre of the man’s forehead. After several
minutes, Heffernan recognises the man as the leader of a rock band from
years ago.
Later Peterson and DS Rachel Tracey discover blood stains and what
appears to be a bullet hole in a vacant house. Later that evening a
young lady confesses to Heffernan that she had helped to move a body
from that same house at the behest of her boss, an estate agent.
The same morning that the suspect is brought in for questioning, a woman
reports that her teenage son is missing. The family lived where the
body had been discovered. Might he have seen something? Heffernan is
convinced that he has the killer, but Peterson isn’t, he also feels that
the murder and the missing boy are somehow connected.
When a shop owner is attacked and left for dead, a new case opens up.
Peterson feels that there is some connection to the murder, as the
victim had been seen near the murder victim’s home.
Can Peterson and Heffernan’s team connect the dots or will the killer
get away with it? What role will medieval letters sold by the missing
lad have in helping to solve the mystery? Author Kate Ellis intertwines
a medieval story of doom into a modern mystery leading to a good, quick
read.
