| Summary |
"Chief Inspector Brian Leslie, a respected colleague of Ian Rutledge, is sent to Avebury, a village set inside a prehistoric stone circle not far from Stonehenge. A young woman has been murdered next to a megalith shaped like a great shrouded figure, but no one recognizes her—or admits to it. And how did she get there? Despite a thorough investigation, it appears that her killer has simply vanished. Rutledge, returning from the conclusion of a case involving another unknown victim, is asked to take a second look at Leslie’s inquiry. But Rutledge is convinced Chief Superintendent Markham only hopes to tarnish his earlier success with a case that is impossible to solve. Where to begin? He too, finds very little to go on in Avebury and slowly widens his search beyond the village, only to discover that unlikely clues are pointing him toward an impossible solution--one that will draw the wrath of the Yard down on him, and very likely see him dismissed if he pursues it. But what does he owe this tragic victim? Where must his loyalty lie?"--Back cover. |
