# The Chapel of Bones

Kate Ellis's novel opens in South Devon after the summer season, when builders renovating Sycamore House find a mummified body behind a wall. It belongs to Dr Aleric Donnal, a scholar of the county's medieval history who vanished over a decade earlier, when the house was home to a new age commune that believed it stood on a sacred site.

DI Wesley Peterson's team investigates while archaeologist Neil Watson studies the ruins of a nearby chapel once decorated with grotesque carvings of mythical beasts. When a second killing in a neighbouring village raises the possibility of a link, the book braids folklore, archaeology and police work together. The publisher places it in the DI Wesley Peterson crime series, and Kate Ellis is a million-copy bestselling author.
