A satisfying puzzle-mystery.\" — The New York Times Book Review\nScotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge\nis assigned one of the most baffling investigations of his career: an unsolved\nmurder case with an unidentified victim and a cold trail with few clues to\nfollow\nA woman has been murdered at the foot of a megalith\nshaped like a great shrouded figure. Chief Inspector Brian Leslie, one of the\nYard’s best men, is sent to investigate the site in Avebury, a village set\ninside a prehistoric stone circle not far from Stonehenge. In spite of his\nefforts, Leslie is not able to identify her, much less discover how she got to\nAvebury—or why she died there. Her killer has simply left no trace.\n\nSeveral weeks later, when Ian Rutledge has returned from successfully\nconcluding a similar case with an unidentified victim, he is asked to take a\nsecond look at Leslie’s inquiry. But Rutledge suspects Chief Superintendent Markham\nsimply wants him to fail.\n\nLeslie was right—Avebury refuses to yield its secrets. But Rutledge\nslowly widens his search, until he discovers an unexplained clue that seems to\npoint toward an impossible solution. If he pursues it and he is wrong, he will\ndraw the wrath of the Yard down on his head. But even if he is right, he can’t\nbe certain what he can prove, and that will play right into Markham’s game. The\neasy answer is to let the first verdict stand: Person or persons unknown. But\nwhat about the victim? What does Rutledge owe this tragic young woman? Where\nmust his loyalty lie?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062905546\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0062905546.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Todd, Charles\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
