Synopsis
The twenty-fourth mystery in the bestselling Wesley Peterson series by acclaimed crime writer Kate Ellis.
On a stormy night in December a tree is blown down on an isolated Devon farm. Only when the fallen tree is dragged away is a red rucksack found caught amongst the roots - and next to it a human skeleton.
The discovery of the body and the rucksack jolts some memories for DI Wesley Peterson. A hitch hiker who went missing in 2008, and was never found, was last seen carrying a similar backpack. A half-forgotten cold case has suddenly become red hot.
Meanwhile, in the small Devon village of Petherham, Damien Lee, a famous TV psychic, is the main attraction at a supernatural weekend. The event is held at the Mill House, a guesthouse that was once home to the owner of Petherham's water-powered woollen mill, now the subject of a study by Wesley's friend, archaeologist Neil Watson
The Mill House has a sinister history and it was the scene of several mysterious deaths back in the nineteenth century. When the psychic dies in suspicious circumstances Wesley discovers a connection between the dead man and the vanished hitch hiker. But was he responsible for her murder? Or has a shady organisation called The Burial Circle, which was connected with those strange deaths over a hundred years before, been revived in the present day?
