He discovers a mass grave that leads him to conclude that the site is one of an ancient medieval plague pit. But, more disturbing, is the discovery that the grave is home to a more recent resident....

I am enjoying the development of the characters as the series continues especially the relationship between Neil and Wesley.
The narrator 'a inability to provide a Liverpudlian accent still grinds but all else is good
