For decades, Pity Wood Farm has been a source of employment for poor workers passing through Rakedale, migrants with lives as abject as the labour they sought. But now it seems a worse fate may have befallen some of those who came upon this isolated community.

Routine building work at the farm has unearthed a grisly discovery: a human hand preserved in clay. When police dig up the farmyard, they find not one, but two bodies - and several years between their burials.

With pressure from a new superintendent and scant forensic evidence to aid them, DS Fry and DC Cooper have only the memories of local people to piece together the tragic history of the farm.

In a case as cold as the ground, Cooper finds himself drawn to a desperate theory: that somewhere, there lies a third body which holds the key to these dreadful crimes.

One of my favorite series. I'm dying to visit the Peak District.

À la Poste avec un autre dans la série cet après-midi pour Lubiette en Grèce.

Premier livre en provenance du bookcrossing reçu cette année, un grand merci Icila et meilleurs voeux !

I particularly enjoyed this one, a dark complicated story mixing family secrets and modern crimes, as well as more insights into the inspectors'personalities.
