The Outcast Dead

In this chilling installment featuring forensic archaeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway, historical crimes tied to a Victorian child murderer may unlock the mystery behind several recent deaths. Ruth uncovers a body at Norwich Castle, possibly that of Jemima Green, known as Mother Hook, who was executed for killing five children. Meanwhile, DCI Harry Nelson investigates the deaths of three infants in King's Lynn, suspecting their mother, until a child disappears. As the case unfolds, Ruth is drawn back into the investigation alongside Nelson, with eerie echoes from the past. Ideal for readers who enjoy Val McDermid and Ann Cleeves.
