The tenth mystery in Elly Griffiths's brilliant Dr Ruth Galloway series, this particular outing sees Ruth travel to Italy at the request of a local archaeologist, who is eager for her help with a collection of bones he’s discovered in a rural village. With her daughter and a friend in tow, Ruth finds herself investigating a mystery that stretches all the way back to the war years. But it seems there are secrets someone will kill to protect, and when a fresh murder is committed, it quickly becomes clear that this once-dormant mystery may yet prove deadly.
