The Hawksbridge Worm
(2023)(The fourth book in the Thomas Rufford Mystery series)
A novel by Julian Smart
When Thomas’ friend Francesca makes an unusual purchase and writes a play about a mythical beast, innocent theatrics turn lethal. Thomas and his wife Phyllis discover a young woman’s body in a stone circle – is there a mystical explanation, or an all too rational one?
A tragedy from the previous century also demands his attention. The deaths of three former residents of Hawksbridge are linked to Francesca’s new business, and these ghosts must be laid to rest. Along the way, Thomas must solve the riddles of a love-lorn rector, a notorious poet, and a fateful ruby.
Meanwhile, spectres from Thomas’ own past return to threaten his marriage and his future, after the unwelcome appearance of an old acquaintance and his sister.
The fourth in the Thomas Rufford Mysteries, The Hawksbridge Worm follows Thomas and those around him as they face threats to their own happiness – and deadly drama.
