Opis

When torrential rains uncover a bizarrely tattooed body on a Lake District hillside, old wives' tales come swirling to the surface. Is this the site of an ancient massacre, as retold in a Wordsworth poem? Jane Gresham follows the leads - but death is hard on her heels, and the mystery can still put lives on the line.
