Description
Book Synopsis''A beguiling heroine - clever sympathetic and bearing a weight of guilt . . . This is Andrea Carter''s first book; she''ll go far'' The Times
''Haunting, atmospheric and gripping. One of the finest Irish mystery debuts of recent years.'' John Connolly, New York Times best-selling author
When a skeleton is discovered, wrapped in a blanket, in the hidden crypt of a deconsecrated church, everyone is convinced the bones must be those of Conor Devitt, a local man who went missing on his wedding day six years previously. But the post mortem reveals otherwise.
Solicitor Benedicta ''Ben'' O''Keeffe is acting for the owners of the church, and although an unwelcome face from her past makes her reluctant to get involved initially, when Conor''s brother dies in strange circumstances shortly after coming to see her, she finds herself drawn in to the mystery. Whose is the skeleton in the crypt and how did it get there? Is Conor Devitt still alive
