Overview
When Ben Kitto discovers the body of a young woman, buried near the ruins of an old isolation hospital on the island of St Helen's, he is forced to look beyond the island's shores for a vicious killer, who's determined to take more lives. The breathtaking, gripping new instalment in the Isles of Scilly Mysteries series . . .
'An absolute master of pace, plotting and character' --Elly Griffiths, CWA Dagger and Mary Higgins Clark award-winning author
As January storms batter the Scillies, Ben Kitto accompanies Father Michael on a pilgrimage to St Helen's, where the islands' only Catholic priest intends to live in the ruins of an ancient church for two days.
The atmosphere on St Helen's unnerves Kitto from the start, as if the ghosts of sailors from the old isolation hospital still linger in the fog. As the two men meander across the boulders, they are surprised to find the remains of a barbecue strewn by the shore. Digging frantically in the sand, Ben's dog, Shadow, unearths the emaciated body of a young woman.
Kitto is deeply shocked by the crime, resolving to do whatever it takes to find the murderer. And when it emerges that the young girl was Vietnamese, Kitto is forced to look beyond the island's shores for a vicious killer - someone determined to take more lives, at unthinkable cost . . .
