Grave Intent

‘Carla James is a wonderful creation’ William Shaw

FOUL DEEDS LIE BURIED UNDER CAMPUS GROUNDS

Jericho College is closed for the summer break. But professor Carla James is busy teaching a short course to a small group of archaeology enthusiasts.

Keen to get involved with local history, the newcomers become fixated on the century-old grave of Meg Woodthorpe. Killed for being a witch. A single stone sits on the burial site supposedly to prevent her rising again.
And excavations reveal she may have. Meg's body is no longer there. She has been replaced by a modern victim. With no one missing, Carla must work out who this is and where Meg has gone.

A dark and atmospheric crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths and Kathy Reichs.
