Summary
Somerset’s bloody past meets a dangerous present in this thriller from the bestselling DI Nick Dixon crime series.
When a badly decomposed body is discovered during an archaeological dig on the Sedgemoor battlefield, Avon and Somerset police are notified immediately. The remains are recent, and Detective Chief Inspector Peter Lewis knows exactly who they have found.
A single stab wound from a curved blade implicates convicted serial killer Daniel Parker, who Lewis arrested fifteen years ago.
With Parker’s appeal hearing imminent, Lewis comes under intense pressure to pin this new murder on him quickly and quietly. It’s an open and shut case - and Lewis should know - so why then does he insist on assigning it to DI Nick Dixon?
As Dixon starts to re-examine the original investigation, shocking revelations come in from the forensics team. And just as Dixon’s worst fears begin to surface, another body is found…

Cannot recommend this book highly enough
I switched between reading and audio and either medium found me completely engrossed. Although I can often be disappointed when I hear a character's voice as very different from their voice in my imagination, this was certainly not the case this time. Simon Mattack's narration is superb, changing from male to female characters effortlessly and completely believable.
I was so sorry when I finished this. I have read all previous Nick Dixon stories and am thoroughly invested in the steady character development and understandable reactions to the unfolding situations.
What an absorbing read/listen- thank you.

A great book!
This book was brilliant reflecting the skills of Damien Boyd. The storyline was so realistic I could imagine every scene.
Hopefully there will be another book in the series.

Excellent narration
Another great Nick Dixon story, although not my favourite so far, quite a lot of historic battle scene retelling, but still enjoyable. Really good narration, read at a good speed, and with believable, not over the top, voices for each character. off to download the next one now!

excellent story and narration
Nick Dixon is by far my favourite detective and the narration by Simon Mattacks is nothing short of excellent. I only wish Audible would have him redo the earlier books in the series, I did try but I simply can't stand the previous narrator!

Gripping story.
Gripping story, plenty of sub plots, entertaining read. The story included lots of facts about the history of the area too.
