Summary

Summary

Cumbria, 1967. Grieving the loss of her son, Cordelia Hemlock is in the village graveyard when lightning strikes a tomb, giving her a glimpse of a fresh corpse that doesn’t belong among the crumbling bones. But when the body vanishes, the authorities refuse to believe a hysterical outsider.

Cordelia persuades Felicity Goose, the only other person to have seen the corpse, to join her investigation. But the villagers don’t take kindly to their interference. There are those who believe the village’s secrets should remain buried . . . whatever the cost.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Exceptional…Mark is writing at the top of his game.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A quiet, unassuming crime novel, but it is one of my favorites so far this year.” Deadly Pleasures Magazine
“Charlie Norfolk and Clare Kissane narrate the story from each woman’s perspective, audibly highlighting the stark differences between the two characters. Norfolk creates a brittle, reserved, and slightly superior-sounding Cordelia, while Kissane captures Felicity and the rich dialect of northern England. Together they create an atmospheric backdrop for this gripping mystery.” AudioFile

Author Bio: David Mark

Author Bio: David Mark

David Mark spent more than fifteen years as a journalist, including seven years as a crime reporter with the Yorkshire Post—walking the Hull streets that would later become the setting for the Detective Sergeant Aector McAvoy novels. His writing is heavily influenced by the court cases he covered: the defeatist and jaded police officers; the incompetent investigators; the inertia of the justice system and the sheer raw grief of those touched by savagery and tragedy. He lives in Lincolnshire, England.
