Then a second girl goes missing and Nelson receives a new letter-exactly like the ones about Lucy. Detective Chief Inspector Nelson calls Ruth for help, believing the bones to be the remains of Lucy Downey, a little girl who went missing a decade ago and whose abductor taunts him with bizarre letters referencing ritual sacrifice, Shakespeare, and the Bible. It is a childrens historical fantasy and an Arthurian legend. But her routine is harshly upended when a child's bones are found on a desolate beach. At the Crossing Places is the second book in the Arthur trilogy by Kevin Crossley-Holland. She lives happily alone with her cats in a remote area near Norfolk, land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants-not quite earth, not quite sea. An atmospheric adventure with beloved forensic archaeologist and "captivating amateur sleuth" Ruth Galloway, as she teams up with Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson to investigate a set of remains, thought to be the bones of a little girl who went missing ten years before-"an inspired creation" (Louise Penny).įorensic archeologist Ruth Galloway is in her late thirties.
