アイルランドの柩

by Erin Hart, Takami Utan (Translator), 宇丹 貴代実 (訳) (Translator)

Haunted Ground

The head of a red-haired woman was discovered in a desolate Irish marsh. The body, protected by the preservative power of the peat layer, is not clear at first glance whether it is from the modern era or the Iron Age. Thinking that it may be a valuable historical specimen, archaeologist Cormac and anatomist Nora head out to investigate. However, an unexpected incident awaits them in the small town where the discovery took place... A gothic suspense story in which the academic duo tackles two cases that transcend time.
