Sobre aquest llibre
The first gripping historical thriller in the Inspector Albert Lincoln series by million-copy bestselling author Kate Ellis.
1919. The Derbyshire village of Wenfield is still reeling from four years of war. Just when the village has begun to regain its tranquillity, a young girl, Myrtle Bligh, is found stabbed and left in woodland, her mouth slit to accommodate a dead dove - a bird of peace.
When two more women are found murdered in identical circumstances, Wenfield is thrown into a panic.
With rumours of a ghostly soldier with a painted face being spotted near the scene of the murders, Inspector Albert Lincoln is sent up from London to crack the terrible case - but with the killer still on the loose, who will be the next to die at the hands of this vicious angel of death?
'Clever plotting hides a powerful story of loss, malice and deception' ANN CLEEVES

'A plot as devious as anything Agatha Christie devised' PETER LOVESEY
