The body of a well-liked local historian is found half-buried under a
drystone wall near the village of Helmthorpe, Swainsdale. Who on earth
would want to kill such a thoughtful, dedicated man? Penny Cartwright, a
beautiful folk singer with a mysterious past, a shady land-developer,
Harry's editor and a local thriller writer are all suspects--and all are
figures from Harry's previous, idyllic summers in the dale. A young
girl, Sally Lumb, knows more than she lets on, and her knowledge could
lead to danger. Inspector Banks's second case unearths disturbing
secrets behind a bucolic facade.
