Book description
Time is running out for Philip Dryden . . .
In the snowbound landscape of the Cambridgeshire fens, a body is
discovered, locked in a block of ice. High on Ely Cathedral a second
corpse is found, grotesquely 'riding' a stone gargoyle.
Journalist Philip Dryden knows he's onto a great story when forensic
evidence links both victims to one terrifying event in 1966. But the
murders also offer Dryden the key to a very personal mystery. Who
saved his life two years ago? And, more importantly, who left his wife
to die?
The answer will bring Dryden face to face with his own guilt, his
own fears - and a cold and ruthless killer . . .
Jim Kelly is a correspondent for the Financial Times. He lives in
Ely. His second novel, THE FIRE BABY, which also features Dryden, will
be published in March 2004.
