Bones are uncovered by pupils on a school trip. Whose are they, and what dark secrets lie buried with them?
Praise for Della Arthur Investigates: ‘A fast and hugely enjoyable read. Very highly recommended.’ Crimeworm
Wales 1948. When the school bus breaks down near an ancient site, Della Arthur finds herself drawn into a chilling discovery. Unearthed skeletal remains point to a violent mystery from the past. And a fragment of gold chain could be a vital link to the present.
Della must navigate a web of secrets and lies that a close-knit community would rather keep hidden. As a storm gathers and the truth threatens to surface, Della realises too late how perilous her search for justice has become.
A taut and haunting historical mystery, blending post-war tension with the hidden tragedies of love, jealousy, and betrayal.
