Publisher's Summary

DS Wesley Peterson, newly arrived in the West Country town of Tradmouth, has his hands full when a child goes missing and a young woman is brutally murdered on a lonely cliff path.

Then his old friend, archaeologist Neil Watson, unearths the skeletons of a strangled woman and a newborn baby in the cellar of an ancient merchant's house nearby. As the investigation continues, Wesley begins to suspect that these deaths, centuries apart, may be linked by age-old motives of jealousy, a sexual obsession and desperate longing. And the pressure is on if he is going to prevent a further tragedy....

Profile Image for Madeleine

Boring and dated.

Very dull, predictable story. Narrator unable to do the accents described, e.g. Liverpudlian, as in The Beatles. He didn't even try, just did a generic Northern accent. Don't waste your credits.
