Red Sky at Dawn

A man walking his dog early morning finds a

woman’s body . . .

on the cliffs at the end of a long beach at a little

town called Spittal, south of the Tweed estuary.

Eventually she is identified . . .

Her husband is contacted and questioned . . .

. . . but then the investigation stalls . . .

A couple of senior officers are drafted up from

Newcastle . . .

Why this woman?

Who would do this . . .

with a medieval sword?
