      The fifth in the acclaimed series featuring crime fiction's most unusual and engaging detective, DC Fiona Griffiths When the body of a young woman is found in an old 'dead house' - the annexe where the dead were stored before burial in medieval times - of a tiny Welsh church, it seems that past and present have come together in a bizarre and horrifying way. For DC Fiona Griffiths, the girl - a murder victim whose corpse was laid out with obvious tenderness - represents an irresistibly intriguing puzzle, given Fiona's unusual empathy with the dead. And when her investigations lead her to an obscure and secretive monastery hidden in a remote valley, she finds that the dead girl is far from the only victim of a sinister melding of modern crime and medieval religious practices. Only Fiona is capable of putting the mismatched pieces together in this disturbing puzzle, but immersing herself in this dark and obsessive world could threaten her fragile grip on her own sanity.

    • Am 23. August 1893 werden zwei Kinder geboren: Alan ist der Sohn von Sir Adam Montague, Tom der Sohn seines Gärtners. Die Kinder wachsen gemeinsam auf, und es scheint, als könne diese Freundschaft nichts trüben - abgesehen von der Aussicht, dass Alan die Reichtümer seines Vaters, Tom hingegen gar nichts erben wird. Ein tragisches Missverständnis in den Schützengräben des Ersten Weltkriegs verwandelt die tiefe Freundschaft in bittere Rivalität. Eine Rivalität, die sich zukünftig nur um eines dreht: Öl. Und für die beiden Männer gibt es nur ein Ziel, das ihnen wichtiger ist als der Reichtum: Rache.
