“The skilful Mr Lewis has made Arnold Landon an unforgettable character.” The New York Times
Originally published as Angel of Death.
A skeleton buried on a lonely Northumberland hill?
Nothing wrong with that. Garrigill was once an ancient burial ground.
Archaeologist Rena Williams is here to excavate the site. She is an old friend of Arnold’s. And with his help, her team have uncovered more than a few old bones already.
But never like this.
The bludgeoned skull, the modern dental work . . . nothing about this death feels accidental. Or even all that old.
Who was the dead man, and what did he know that was worth killing for?
Arnold’s determined to get to the bottom of it all, but then one of his hotheaded young teammates turns up dead in a ditch.
What if someone now wants Arnold dead?
Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.
