Death has come twice to Ravenbank, a remote community in Englandโs Lake District, each time on Halloweโen. Just before the First World War, a young womanโs corpse was found, with a makeshift shroud frozen to her battered face. Her ghost โ the Faceless Woman โ is said to walk through Ravenbank on Hallowe-en. Five years ago, another woman, Katya Moss, was murdered, and again her face was covered to hide her injuries. Daniel Kind, a specialist in the history of murder, becomes fascinated by the old cases, and wonders whether the obvious suspects really did commit the crimes. He spends Halloweโen at a party in Ravenbank โ only to find death returning to this beautiful but isolated spot. Once more, the victim is a woman, once more her damaged face is shrouded from view.
