What you need to know before your trail

It’s been only a few months since archaeologist Ruth Galloway found herself entangled in a missing persons case, barely escaping with her life. But when construction workers demolishing a large old house in Norwich uncover the bones of a child beneath a doorway—minus its skull—Ruth is once again called upon to investigate. Is it a Roman-era ritual sacrifice, or is the killer closer at hand?

Travel Guide

The Norfolk Coast is a wild and desolate place as seen through the eyes of Dr Ruth Galloway. This is her territory and where she loves as she lives in a cottage, a tiny cottage, remote, alone and unique a bit like Ruth herself.

The Saltmarshes

Ruth lives and works in and around the Salt Marshes which are fictional but the author suggests visiting nearby RSPB Titchwell Marsh in King’s Lynn

North Norfolk

North Norfolk has many stunning beaches – each as wild and wonderful as the Saltmarsh.  Hunstanton is one.The overall literary travel experience here is one of landscape and a sense of wide space. The marshes and the outlying fields are wild and raw. The weather harsh and unforgiving, the waves pounding against the jagged cliffs, washing into the coves, the shrieks of the birds overhead.
