Originally published as The Ways of Death.
Out on the jagged Northumbrian coast, violent storms uncover an ancient sea cave.
The place has been sealed up for millennia. No way in or out. Now Arnold must explore its murky depths. When he does, he stumbles on something impossible.
A heap of human remains and rotten clothing. Along with one tiny silver ID badge.
Whoever killed the owner — twenty years ago — found the ultimate place to hide their crime. But how did they do it?
The man’s death is a fiendish puzzle that Arnold can’t fathom. Especially when a second body turns up in the very same location.
A case of history repeating itself? An uncanny coincidence? Or what?
The deeper Arnold gets, the more he fears the past and the present are horrifyingly intertwined.
And someone out there will stop at nothing to keep their secret.
Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.
WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING ABOUT THE ARNOLD LANDON MYSTERIES:

“Right atmosphere of menace in this highly charged mystery.” Booklist
“This intelligent, nicely textured mystery gathers speed and races to a thrilling conclusion.” Kirkus
“Good Northern atmosphere and neatly satisfying plot.” Times Literary Supplement
“Always a good read.” Berys
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.
