Description
Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway is drawn into a decades-old mystery when a child's bones are discovered on a remote beach. The remains are believed to be those of Lucy Downey, a little girl who went missing ten years ago and whose abductor sent taunting letters referencing ritual sacrifice, Shakespeare, and the Bible. Detective Chief Inspector Nelson calls Ruth for help, believing the new discovery may be linked to the original case. As more girls go missing, Ruth must navigate her isolated home near Norfolk's sacred Iron Age land to unravel the truth behind the eerie letters and the latest disappearances. Ruth's expertise in forensic archaeology is put to the test as she teams up with Nelson to investigate a possible copycat killer or a sinister connection to the original case.
