The Two Deaths of Ruth Lyle

Fifty years. Two deaths. One detective to solve an impossible case...

DI Jan Talantire is called to a cottage in the quiet Devon town of Ilfracombe. The female occupant has been found dead, her body impaled with a crucifix. Documents at the house provide clues to the victim's identity, but while her name means nothing to the young PC who found her, DI Talantire knows this cannot be the body of Ruth Lyle, despite what the evidence suggests.

Fifty years earlier, sixteen-year-old Ruth Lyle was murdered – stabbed by a crucifix, in the same location. To track down a violent killer, DI Talantire must solve the ultimate riddle: how can a woman die twice?

A twisty and unputdownable crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths and Kate Ellis.
