Book Description

The letter tells of a great archaeological discovery, but Dan also says that he is scared for his life. Was Dan's death linked to his find? The only clue is his mention of the Raven King, an ancient name for King Arthur.
Then Ruth is invited to examine the bones Dan found. Ruth travels to Lancashirethe hometown of DCI Nelsonwith both her eighteen-month-old daughter, Kate, and her druid friend, Cathbad, in tow. She discovers a campus living in fear of a sinister right-wing group called the White Hand. She also finds that the bones revealed a shocking fact about King Arthurand they've mysteriously vanished. When Nelson, visiting his mother in Blackpool, learns about the case, he is drawn into the investigation, especially when Ruth and his beloved Kate seem to be in danger. Who is willing to kill to keep the bones a secret?
My Review
This was the best Ruth Galloway book in the series so far. Griffiths writing pulls you in and keeps you until the very last page. Her characters seem like real people and the plots are very intriguing. This one has a connection to King Arthur and I find that I learn a lot about history from her books. These books have a lot for everyone - mystery, history, romance and adventure.
