In The Shadow Of The Minster

Tam Elidor #2

by Alanna Knight

After a terrible row with her daughter, Anthea, Claudia Shand had later witnessed a terrifying attack on Hannah, a young Dutch girl, in St Magdalen's Churchyard. But worse was to come - not long after she arrived home two policewomen had come to her door, informing her that a young girl had been found drowned in the River Ouse. Fearing the worst, Claudia asks for the support of her ex-husband, Jake. The dead girl is, in fact, Hannah, and police suspect she may have been involved in an antiques smuggling ring. Is Anthony Vandenberg, Claudia's new found friend, involved - and could Claudia herself be in danger...?
