HARM NONE: A DAVIES
Book ID/图书代码: 12580015B77987
English Summary/英文概要: Set in Penwith, the southwest tip of Cornwall, a land of mystery and magic, of Stone Age monuments, present day witchcraft…and murder. When an American archaeological team stumbles upon the skeletal remains of a missing child beneath an Iron Age quoit, CID detective sergeant Morgan Davies and her Scene of Crimes partner Calum West unearth a growing list of suspects. The very night of the discovery, which coincides with the annual pagan festival of Golowan in nearby Penzance, Terry Bates, a young detective constable left to guard the remains is assaulted and nearly killed by a demon in the shape of a huge horned goat.
Irascible Morgan has known catastrophic death from infancy. Bringing evil to justice is as inherent to her as her own pulse. Calum’s job steeps him in death daily but when his own wife dies suddenly and leaves him with their two young girls he is suddenly aware of risk to women everywhere.
Within days, another murder is discovered, an ornate ceremonial knife buried in the new victim’s chest. Is the killer the mind-reading witch—or “village wise woman” as she likes to be called who has long been a suspect in the child’s disappearance? Is it the drug-dealing partner of the child’s heroin addicted mother? Or is it someone even closer to the investigation? When the answer is revealed, renegade detective Davies has only minutes to prevent yet another child from being killed.
