Summary
A man and his dog unearth something in a wood - a human hand, part of a body that has lain buried for ten years or so, wrapped in a purple cotton shroud. The post mortem cannot reveal the precise… cause of death, and the only clue is a crack in one of the dead man's ribs. Then, about twenty yards away from the woodland burial site, in the cellar of a disused cottage, another body is discovered. Some descriptions of violence and some strong language. Sequel to "End in tears", followed by "The monster in the box". 2007.
