Ein weiterer Band der großartigen Krimis um Duncan Kincaid und Gemma James: diesmal will Duncan Gemma, Kit und Toby zu einem Besuch bei seiner Familie in Nantwich mitnehmen, einem idyllischen Ort, wo es allen gut gefällt - bis eine mumifizierte Kinderleiche in einer Scheune gefunden wird... A moody psychological crime thriller in the vein of Elizabeth George. Sometimes the most terrible crimes can go unseen...

When Superintendant Duncan Kincaid takes Gemma, Kit and Toby to visit his family in Cheshire, Gemma is soon entranced with Nantwich town's pretty buildings and the historic winding canal, and young Kit is instantly smitten with his cousin Lally. But their visit is marred when, on Christmas Eve, Duncan's sister discovers a mummified infant's body.
