'A tense strongly built version of the
traditional mystery'
Jane Jakeman, Independent (Books of the Year)
In a remote part of the Peak District stand the Nine
Virgins, a ring of stones overshadowed by a dark legend.
Now, as winter closes in, a tenth figure is added to the
circle - the body of a woman is discovered, her limbs
arranged as if she were dancing.
Against the brooding backdrop of the White Peak, Detective
Sergeant Diane Fry and her old sparring partner Ben Cooper
attempt to solve a murder that seems motiveless. But the moors
have witnessed more violence than either of them realize,
and the roots to the bloodshed lie buried deep in the past.
