Lindsay Chamberlain Mystery

Lindsay Chamberlain has a problem. People keep finding bodies in shallow graves and bringing the bones to her. It's not that she doesn't know what to do with the remains. An anthropologist who specialises in archacology, she is an expert in forensic analysis of bones. It's the bones of missing children that disturb her, as for several years, someone has been abducting young girls in the area and their remains have recently been found in shallow graves. Many strange things have happened since Lindsay and her colleagues from the Anthropology Department first began excavating the Indian settlement at Jasper Creek. She finds herself in the middle of a crime that took place sixty years earlier and because so much time has passed, it looks as if the murderer will get off with the crime. Can Lindsay provide the proof needed to bring the killer to justice?

Lord Godwin Medieval Mystery

On Monday, March 30 in the year 1220, the day after Easter, in a field outside the town of Hexham in northern England, the body of a young child, Alfred, is discovered murdered. Lord Godwin, Bailiff of Hexham and in the service of the Archbishop of Canterbury, is summoned to the scene. Alfred has been strangled, but even more shocking are the wounds marking his body: his palms bear puncture wounds, as if iron nails had been driven through them, and his left side has been pierced with a knife. Godwin reckons that Alfred died on Good Friday. Why would someone kill a child on Good Friday? And why would his body be marked in imitation of the crucifixion of Christ? Soon a rumour begins to spread that the Jews had murdered young Alfred, and a mob seizes all the Jews in Hexham, an extended family of nine. Godwin's first task is to prevent the Jews' murder by the mob, his second to find the person guilty of the horrible murder. A disiIlusioned and battle-weary ex-Crusader, Godwin sets out to find the murderer as a means of atoning for his part in the crusade and for coming back when his dearest friend and kinsman Aidan did not. Will he be successful? Will the Jews' lives be spared? Will the murderer be exposed? And will Lord Godwin ever discover - wherever the forgiveness he seeks for failing to protect the life of Aidan?
