Description
Book Synopsis''I love Fiona Griffiths'' Sharon Bolton
A crime from the past. A murder from the future.
DS Fiona Griffiths is bored. It''s been months since she had a good corpse. Then she gets news; not just of a murder, but of a decapitation, and one committed with an antique sword no less. All that, and, a murder scene laid out like a gruesome crossword clue.
Gaynor Charteris was an archaeologist excavating a nearby iron-age site. Genial, respected, well-liked, it was hard to see why anyone would want to kill her.
But as Fiona starts to investigate, she finds evidence of a crime that seems to have its origins in King Arthur''s greatest battle - a crime so bizarre that getting her superiors to take it seriously is going to be her toughest job. Especially since the crime hasn''t yet been committed.
Praise for the Fiona Griffiths mystery series:
''Compelling and claustrophobic. Without a doubt, Fiona Griffiths is one of crime''s
