Description
Police inspector Peter Pascoe is looking for a place to bury his grandmumโs ashes, when he stumbles upon a startling family secretโan ancestor unjustly executed in wartime. So preoccupied is Pascoe that he hardly notices the uproar in his own department. Eight female animal rights protesters have unearthed human bones on the grounds of a drug companyโs research headquarters.Yorkshire police superintendent Andrew Dalziel, a man of prodigious appetite, falls quickly for one of the activists: a generously endowed woman who calls herself Cap Marvell. While Dalziel begins to dally, the investigation into the unidentified corpse collides with the mystery of Pascoeโs disgraced great-grandfather and a high-stakes pharmaceutical research project. Suddenly the Yorkshire woods are giving up their darkest secrets: of animal instincts, human passions, and a conspiracy that has killed once, and will do so again... ISBN:9780440218036
