Description
Detective Inspector Wesley Peterson is looking forward to a quieter month in the CID, but a complex murder case on Bonfire Night throws everything off track. The body of Patrick North was found in woodland connected to Nesbaraton Hall, a grand estate dating back to the eighteenth century. As Wesley delves into the case, he uncovers a sinister plot that may be linked to the estate's dark past. An anonymous letter threatening to abduct the Smithson son is uncovered, and Wesley fears North's death might have been collateral damage in a sinister kidnap plot. Meanwhile, archaeologist Dr Neil Watson discovers a hidden grotto in a developer's field - land that was once part of the Nesbaraton estate. Evidence of past rituals and the discovery of a skeleton buried next to the grotto raise questions about strange occurrences, past and present, on the estate. As the investigation unfolds, a resident of the nearby village is killed in a near identical shooting, and Wesley's team must work quickly to find a ruthless killer before they strike again.
