He embarks on a career in investigative journalism, decided to find Alice’s murderer—but his obsession leads him down a dangerous path.
Decades later, in November 2019, an archaeologist unearths a skeleton that turns out to be far more recent than the Roman remains she is looking for. Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team are referred to as in to investigate, but there may be little to be gleaned from the remains themselves. Left with few clues, Banks and his team should depend on their wits to hunt down a killer.
