Elly Griffiths Libri

Inghilterra, Norwich. Tra le rovine di un'antica villa romana, appena portata alla luce dagli scavi, scintilla qualcosa di bianco. Ruth Galloway, archeologa forense, conosce bene quello scintillio. Si tratta di ossa. Appartengono a un piccolo scheletro umano. Ossa sorprendentemente simili a quelle che sono appena emerse durante la demolizione dell'orfanotrofio vittoriano della città vecchia. C'è un legame tra i due scheletri? Da quanto tempo la terra custodisce quei resti? Solo Ruth, esperta nella datazione di ossa antiche, è in grado di capirlo. Non è la prima volta che la donna si trova di fronte a macabri ritrovamenti di questo tipo. Ma stavolta il caso è ancora più complicato. C'è una sola persona in grado di aiutarla a trovare la verità: Harry Nelson, ispettore della omicidi e sua vecchia conoscenza. L'interrogatorio serrato al vecchio direttore dell'orfanotrofio, un sacerdote cattolico, rivela una sconvolgente verità: quarant'anni fa due bambini sono misteriosamente scomparsi, senza lasciare alcuna traccia. Il caso fu debitamente insabbiato. Appartengono a loro i due scheletri? Solo le ossa possono dirlo. Ruth lo sa bene: le ossa non mentono mai. Ma deve agire in fretta, perché mentre le prove si accumulano, si fa sempre più chiaro che qualcuno sta facendo di tutto per sviarla, spaventandola a morte...

At first Nelson thinks that the dead man might be an asylum seeker but he turns out to be a local boy, Jem Taylor, recently released from prison.

Nelson is called to an apparent murder-suicide of a couple at the isolated Black Dog Farm. Local legend talks of the Black Shuck, a spectral hound that appears to people before they die. Nelson ignores this, even when the owner's suicide note includes the line, 'He's buried in the garden.' Ruth excavates and finds the body of a giant dog. All roads lead back to this farm in the middle of nowhere, but the place spells serious danger for anyone who goes near. Ruth doesn't scare easily. Not until she finds herself at Black Dog Farm
