Mystery Woman Sleuth | Suspense | Mystery Historical
In Burgundy, France, in 1926, a famed archaeologist dies a terrible death in a country not his own.โฆ Thus begins CWA Historical Dagger Award winner Barbara Cleverlyโs dazzling new mystery novel. And soon aspiring archaeologist Laetitia Talbot will find herself embroiled in a murderous conspiracy centuries in the making.
Lettyโs joy at snaring a place in the excavation of an ancient church in Burgundy is dimmed by the tragedy of her godfather Danielโs violent death. But when Letty receives a posthumous encoded message, she begins to believe that Danielโs death was not a random act. Her investigation into Danielโs murder sends her on a journey into a countryโs remote historyโฆinto the orbit of a privileged French family harboring its own damning secretโฆ into ancient Celtic mysteries and one sacred truth kept through the ages. It is an explosive revelation that could rock modern Christianityโand force a killer out of the shadows as a country devastated by one war lays the groundwork for another.โฆ
