Description
Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway is called in when builders uncover the skeleton of a child beneath the foundations of an old children’s home—an unsettling discovery that may be linked to a present-day crime. As Ruth and Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson investigate, they are drawn into a dark history of abandoned children, religious secrecy, and buried violence. Set against the atmospheric landscape of Norfolk, this gripping mystery combines archaeological detail, psychological tension, and richly drawn characters. It is a compelling exploration of how the past can remain dangerously alive in the present.
