  FROM THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOLY ISLAND
  
  A murder for the history books...
  
  After a long and eventful winter, DCI Ryan and his team are looking forward to the joys of spring. But, when one of their colleagues is shot dead on her own doorstep and the brass think it's an inside job, Ryan finds himself drafted in to investigate.
  
  He's barely scratched the surface when reports flood in of a terror explosion at Durham Cathedral. Chaos descends on the sleepy, historic city and, when the smoke clears, they find a priceless artefact that once belonged to Saint Cuthbert is missing.
  
  With tensions running at an all-time high, unable to trust the local police, can Ryan and his team bring a killer to justice -- and restore Cuthbert's cross to its natural resting place?
  
  Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular landscape of County Durham.
