Description

The skeleton unearthed by builders on the Lamb Lane bomb site seems to Inspector Sloan to be the victim of a war-time air raid.

But there are one or two disturbing things about it. There is no bomb rubble on top of it; there are no bones broken; and one of the ribs has a small chip out of it...

Inspector Sloan begins to suspect foul play, a suspicion fully justified by a whole series of strange events that suddenly take place in the normally peaceful town of Berebury.
