THE SKELETON ROOM by Kate Ellis

When builders converting a former girls' school Chadleigh Hall into a luxury hotel discover a skeleton in a sealed room, DI Wesley Peterson and his boss, Gerry Hefferman are called in to investigate.

But they soon have a second suspicious death on their hands; a team of marine archaeologists working on a nearby shipwreck off the Devon coast have dragged a woman's body from the sea.

As Wesley investigates Chadleigh Hall's past and the woman's violent death, both trails lead in surprising directions. Matters are further complicated when a man wanted for murder in London appears on the scene, a man who may know more about the case than he admits.

Soft cover, fairly good condition. The cover shows minor signs of wear. Slight foxing.
