Will the outcome be worth stirring up all those secrets for? With the assistance of a local clerk, John Davies, Harry takes up the investigation himself, but it seems like both of them know more than they are willing to admit. Unfortunately he's up against a few formidable opponents from the past, not least the Rebecca rioters, members of an illegal group from a few years earlier, and officially it looks like justice might not be on the cards. That means Harry is on hand to press for justice, since he knows whose remains they must be. When a body is accidentally uncovered nearby in 1850, Harry Probert-Lloyd the London barrister has recently returned to his father's house in West Wales due to deteriorating sight. Summary: This is a gripping historical crime novel set, delightfully and unusually, in mid-nineteenth-century West Wales with all the additional possibilities of Welsh vs English, church vs chapel that the setting provides.
