A PSYCHOLOGICAL TALE OF MURDERS DELIVERS A THREE PUNCH FINALE

Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Archie Penrose is called to the churchyard of St. John-at-Hampstead where a ghastly and gruesome crime scene awaits. A body in horrific shape, bloody hair matted, clenched fist scraped almost to the bone, face contorted in agony, skull mutilated where he had beaten repeatedly against the stone that held him in, trying to escape. The victim was barely recognizable except for the signet ring he wore. He was entombed alive and it was difficult to know for how long. The police discover that the deceased was a church organist named Dr. Stephen Laxborough. Penrose finds a picture torn in half of an old manor house and a cryptic note that read: "What is this that I have done?" Archie begins an investigation that will prove to be one of his most difficult ever.

Nicola Upson writes a mystery that is complex, twisted and will keep you turning the pages to discover the murderer. Throughout
