Description

Death has come twice to Ravenbank, a remote community in England's Lake District, each time on Hallowe'en. A young woman's corpse was found, with a makeshift shroud frozen to her battered face. Her ghost, the Faceless Woman, is said to walk through Ravenbank on Hallowe'en. Five years ago, another woman, Katya Moss, was murdered, and again her face was covered to hide her injuries. A specialist in the history of murder, Daniel Kind, becomes fascinated by the old cases, and wonders whether the obvious suspects really did commit the crimes. He spends Hallowe'en at a party in Ravenbank, only to find death returning to this beautiful but isolated spot. Once more, the victim is a woman, once more her damaged face is shrouded from view. This is a gripping mystery that explores the darker side of human nature, and the enduring power of the past to shape our present.
