The Janus Stone
of Elly Griffiths (Goodreads Author)
Series: Ruth Galloway #2
Description
Itâs 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 doorwayâminus its skullâRuth is once again called upon to investigate. Is it a Roman-era ritual sacrifice, or is the killer closer at hand?Ruth and Detective Harry Nelson would like to find outâand fast. When they realize the house was once a childrenâs home, they track down the Catholic priest who served as its operator. Father Hennessey reports that two children did go missing from the home forty years beforeâa boy and a girl. They were never found. When carbon dating proves that the childâs bones predate the home and relate to a time when the house was privately owned, Ruth is drawn ever more deeply into the case. But as spring turns into summer it becomes clear that someone is trying very hard to put her off the trail by frightening her, and her unborn child, half to death.The Janus Stone is a riveting follow-up to Griffithsâs acclaimed The Crossing Places.
