“The skilful Mr Lewis has made Arnold Landon
an unforgettable character.” New York Times

______________________________________________

Originally published as
Bloodeagle.

A twisted MO torn straight from the history books.

Arnold Landon steps out with his lady friend, hunting for relics on the deserted dig site where he works.

Before long, they stumble on something under a bridge. The mangled remains of Arnold’s fellow historian.

His chest gapes open, his insides arranged in a pair of bloody wings.

Arnold’s no expert, but he knows a
bloodeagle when he sees one — the handiwork of a berserker warrior. Mad with blood lust and out for vengeance.

Who will believe that’s possible? The police are skeptical. But as the body count rises, Arnold’s wild theories become harder to discount.

Can he piece it all together before the killer strikes again?

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.
