Skeleton Hill: An Inspector Peter Diamond Investigation

"Nobody can write the modern traditional detective novel as perfectly as Lovesey."—The Denver Post

"A special treat."—The New York Times Book Review

On Lansdown Hill near Bath, a battle between Roundheads and Cavaliers that took place over 350 years ago is annually reenacted. Two of the reenactors discover a headless skeleton, and soon after one of them goes missing and is found murdered. The hill becomes the setting for one of the most puzzling cases Peter Diamond has investigated.

Peter Lovesey is the author of ten mysteries in his best-loved Peter Diamond series. He lives in Chichester, England.
