Originally published as Shadowmaker.
Glamorous widow Isabella Portland is in desperate need of Arnold Landon’s help. She suspects that at least some of the priceless antiques her late husband left behind were stolen.
And Arnold has heard the rumours. The mysterious circumstances surrounding Isabella’s husband’s death . . .
But, seduced by her charms, he agrees to help.
The search for answers leads him to the beautiful old port town of La Rochelle, on the south coast of France.
There, walled up in a secret attic room, he finds a body.
The victim was a wealthy American collector, miles from home. Someone put a bullet in his head.
And now they have Arnold in their sights.
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.

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.
