    The first in the acclaimed Lydmouth crime series, set on the Welsh/English border in the years after World War II

    'Andrew Taylor is a master story-teller' Daily Telegraph

    From the No.1 bestselling author of The Ashes of London and The Fire Court, this is the first instalment in the acclaimed Lydmouth series

    Workmen in the small market town of Lydmouth are demolishing an old cottage. A sledgehammer smashes into what looks like a solid wall. Instead, layers of wallpaper conceal the door of a locked cupboard which holds a box - and in the box is the skeleton of a young baby.

    Items within the box suggest that the baby was entombed early in the nineteenth century, but when another man is also found dead, the evidence suggests that the baby's death is more recent and that a killer is on the loose. For Journalist Jill Francis, newly arrived from London, this looks like her first story to chase ...

    'An excellent writer. He plots with care and intelligence and the solution to the mystery is satisfyingly chilling' The Times

    'The most under-rated crime writer in Britain today' Val McDermid

    'There is no denying Taylor's talent, his prose exudes a quality uncommon among his contemporaries' Time Out
