Synopsis: A dedicated man is dead in the Yorkshire dales--a former university professor, wealthy historian and archaeologist who loved his adopted village. A dedicated man is dead in the Yorkshire dales--a former university professor, wealthy historian and archaeologist who loved his adopted village. It is a particularly heinous slaying, considering the high esteem which the victim, Harry Steadman, was held by his neighbors colleagues--by everyone, it seems, except the one person who bludgeoned the life out of the respected scholar and left him buried in a farmer's field. Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks left the violence of Lone behind for what he hoped would be the peaceful life of a country policeman. But the brutality of Steadman's murder only reinforces the ugly, indisputable truth: that evil can flourish in even the most bucolic of settings. There are dangerous secrets hidden in the history of the remote Yorkshire community that have already led to one death. A Banks will have to plumb a dark and shocking local past to find way to a killer.. before yesterday's sins cause more blood to be shed.
