Then a second girl goes missing and Nelson receives a new letter-exactly like the ones about Lucy. Detective Chief Inspector Nelson calls Galloway for help, believing they are the remains of Lucy Downey, a little girl who went missing a decade ago and whose abductor continues to taunt him with bizarre letters containing references to ritual sacrifice, Shakespeare, and the Bible. But her routine days of digging up bones and other ancient objects are harshly upended when a child’s bones are found on a desolate beach. When I wrote The Crossing Places in 2009, I didn’t think that it would be the start of a long-running series. She lives happily alone with her two cats in a bleak, remote area near Norfolk, land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants-not quite earth, not quite sea. Her first crime novel The Crossing Places is set on the Norfolk coast where she spent holidays as a child and where her aunt still lives. The first entry in the acclaimed Ruth Galloway series follows the captivating archaeologist as she investigates a child’s bones found on a nearby beach, thought to be the remains of a little girl who went missing ten years before.įorensic archaeologist Dr. Elly Griffiths was born in London in 1963.
