Description
Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway has excavated a body from the
grounds of Norwich Castle, a forbidding edifice that was once a prison.
She
believes the body may be that of infamous Victorian murderess Jemima
Green. Called Mother Hook for her claw-like hand, Jemima was hanged in
1867 for the murder of five children in her care.
DCI Harry Nelson
has no time for long-dead killers. Immersed in the case of three infants
found dead, one after the other, in their King's Lynn home, he's
convinced that a family member is responsible, though others on his team
think differently.
Then a child goes missing. Could the abduction
be linked to the long-dead Mother Hook? Ruth is pulled into the case,
and back towards Nelson.
