The Chalk Pit - Elly Griffiths

Dr Ruth Galloway knows tew reasons why someone might boil human bones.

Cannibalism in Norwich? It seems unlikely, but the old tunnels under the city have spawned plenty of legends.

When Ruth discovers the bones are no more than five years old, it seems a hideous crime has been committed.

DI Harry Nelson has no time for grisly stories, A local homeless woman has disappeared, and the only trace of her are rumours that she’s gone ‘underground’. Nelson is not inclined to take this literally, and yet…

When another rough sleeper is murdered and a second woman vanishes, Ruth and Nelson must face the possibility that the Underground is more than a legend. They’d better unravel its secrets before it claims another victim.
