About the book
"When she's not digging up bones or other ancient objects, Ruth Galloway lectures at the University of North Norfolk. When a child's bones are found in the marshes near an ancient site that Ruth worked on earlier, Ruth is asked to date them. The bones turn out to be 2000 years old, and DCI Harry Nelson, who called on Ruth for help, is disappointed. He'd hoped they would be the bones of a child called Lucy who's been missing for ten years. He's been getting letters about her ever since - bizarre notes with references to ritual and sacrifice and quoting the Bible and Shakespeare. Then a second girl goes missing and Nelson receives another letter. Soon it becomes clear that Ruth is in danger from a killer who knows that her expert knowledge is being used to help the police with their enquiries."--Publisher description.
