In a remote part of the Peak District stand the Nine
Virgins, a ring of
stones overshadowed by a dark legend. Now, as winter closes
in, a tenth
figure is added to the circle - the body of Jenny Weston is
discovered, her
limbs arranged so she appears to be dancing.
Weeks earlier another woman had been attacked on the moors.
Maggie Crew was
found by a local farmer's wife, severely traumatized, her
face savagely cut
open. Is there a maniac on the loose?
Unlocking the memories trapped in Maggie's mind is now a
matter of utmost
urgency for the detectives of 'E' Division, but while DS
Diane Fry attempts
to draw out the truth, DC Ben Cooper is left with too many
lines of enquiry
leading to too few answers.
As they struggle to make sense of a murder that seems
motiveless it becomes
clear that the moors have witnessed more bloodshed than
either Ben or Diane
could imagine; and there is more to come before an answer
can be found.
DANCING WITH THE VIRGINS is a tense psychological thriller,
the sequel to
Stephen Booth's stunning debut BLACK DOG.
