That is until erosion from a storm reveals three bodies buried outside the local churchyard.\n\nTwo are ancient skeletons, but one is far more recent, and Wesley realises he has uncovered a case of murder. But whose remains are they? And who killed them?\n\nThe island has only a small number of inhabitants. Yet one resident keeps cropping up in Wesley's investigation: the author and self-styled academic, Quentin Search.\n\nMeanwhile, Wesley's friend, archaeologist Neil Watson, becomes fascinated by the remains of the island's old priory. His discovery of a journal, written by a sixteenth-century cleric, reveals an eerie tale of strange rituals and disturbing deaths.\n\nAs Wesley begins to wonder whether the past might be repeating itself, another murder occurs... There is a calculated killer on the island - one whose grip is as deadly as the rising tide.\n\n\u003cb\u003eWhether you've read the whole series, or are discovering Kate Ellis's DI Wesley Peterson novels for the first time, this is the perfect page-turner if you love reading Ann Cleeves and Elly Griffiths.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003ePraise for Kate Ellis...\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n'Clever plotting hides a powerful story of loss, malice and deception' \u003cb\u003eAnn Cleeves\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n'Haunting' \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndependent\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n'The chilling plot will keep you spooked and thrilled to the end' \u003ci\u003eCloser\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n'Unputdownable' \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBookseller\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n'A fine storyteller, weaving the past and present in a way that makes you want to read on' \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeterborough Evening Telegraph\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46807777411308,"sku":"9780349433172","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10785243482312.jpg?v=1757503229","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/coffin-island-by-kate-ellis-9780349433172","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
