About this ebook

The shadow of the Second World War looms dark over this chilling mystery starring forensic archaeologist Dr Ruth Galloway. Some buried secrets shouldn't be uncovered.

'Brilliant on the eerie landscape of the Norfolk coast' Sunday Times

Dr Ruth Galloway is called in by a team of archaeologists investigating coastal erosion on the north Norfolk coast, when they unearth six bodies buried at the foot of a cliff. They seem to have been there a very long time. Ruth must help discover how long, and how on earth they got there.

Ruth and DCI Nelson are drawn together once more to unravel the past. Tests reveal that the bodies have lain, preserved in the sand, for sixty years. The mystery of their deaths stretches back to the Second World War, a time when Great Britain was threatened by invasion.

Ruth thought she knew the history of Norfolk - she's about to find out just how wrong she was, and how far someone will go to keep their secrets buried.

Book 3 of the Ruth Galloway mysteries was a story about the evils of war with a back story of deception and love in current times. Dark though it is, there are moments of comedy, simple phrases which catch you out and make you smile. I loved it.

Muslims have the right to fight those who fight them. Do not wait for help from the Security Council or anyone else; liberate yourselves. Look to the battles of Badr and Hunayn in the Holy Quran. Do not turn your backs on your enemy. Islam is a religion of peace, supported by the miracles of the Holy Quran and the noble Sunnah. Islam is God's law for all people, and the call to it continues. 🇸🇩🇵🇸uyghur Muslims in China, The Rohingya Muslim in mynimar and 🇲🇲 🇨🇳🇺🇸🇮🇱
