An Inspector Felse mystery novel. When Alan Morris disappears, his great-niece, Charlotte, regrets not knowing the renowned archaeologist better, so she goes to visit one of his digs, where she finds more than just a few old stones. Ellis Peters is the nom-de-crime of English novelist Edith Pargeter, author of more than twenty books under her own name, and best known for her medieval-detective series The Cadfael Chronicles.
