The Moon Tunnel

Philip Dryden has come to an archeological dig near Ely in search of a story.  But it isn’t the story that he expected.  The crew has found a tunnel and in it a skeleton.  This site was once a WWII POW camp.  Dryden realises that the man had been shot in the tunnel, but why was he crawling into the camp?

Laura, Dryden’s hospitalised wife, offers to do some internet research for him.  Limited as she is, he accepts her help.

Because the skeleton is so old, the police aren’t interested, so Dryden begins his own investigation.  He speaks to his uncle, who was quite young at the time.  What he learns takes him to a home that was robbed during the war.  A man had been killed during the robbery.

Laura’s research comes up with a name of a missing POW, but records show that he never existed.  So, who was he?  And, why was he crawling into the POW camp?  Dryden also discovers that there is a missing, and very valuable painting, that has not been recovered.

Some time later, Dryden while going to ask the archeologist questions about the dig, discovers his body in one of the trenches, killed execution style.

Who is the killer, and why was he killed?  With the police pursuing their own investigation, Dryden has clues of his own to follow.  Author Jim Kelly’s thriller is just that; full of tension and crisis.  Who will find the killer first?  Dryden or the police?  An exciting read.
