In Norfolk, an archaeological find becomes the key to solving a crime from the past. Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway returns with a case in which the pagan rites of the Celtic and Roman era will be the key to solving a murder. When workers carrying out the demolition of an old house in Norwich discover the incomplete skeleton of a child, forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway tries to clarify its origin. Is it a ritual sacrifice carried out by our ancestors or the victim of a murder? Ruth will try to find out together with detective Harry Nelson. The house was an orphanage in the 1970s, and the priest who ran it provides new clues by recalling the disappearance of two brothers, a boy and a girl, who were never found. Ruth's curiosity increases and not even the discomfort of her pregnancy will prevent her from getting involved in the case. However, she will soon realize that someone is willing to give her a death scare.
Domenica de Rosa, known by her pen name Elly Griffiths, is a British crime novelist. She has written three series as Griffiths, one featuring Ruth Galloway, one featuring Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens and Max Mephisto, and the Harbinder Kaur series.
