A newly discovered grave in the Welsh countryside delivers messages from the dead in the twelfth Josephine Tey mystery, perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Jacqueline Winspear. London, 1941. In the aftermath of the Blitz, Detective Chief Inspector Archie Penrose supervises the transportation of the National Gallery's most precious paintings to their new sanctuary in the slate mines of north Wales. Vacationing in the area is Josephine Tey as well as Noel Coward-who is preparing his defiant new play, in which Margaret Rutherford plays a clairvoyant. But when a woman's grave is discovered amid the debris of a collapsed roof in the mines, Archie and Josephine are plunged into a forty-year-old mystery.
As secrets emerge, a new death threatens to tear apart the close-knit Welsh community. In this thrilling novel, no one is immune to the voices of the dead, and there will be no rest until they are heard.
