The House of the Hanged Woman - (Albert Lincoln) by Kate Ellis

The Devil's Dancers is a gripping historical crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

When a Member of Parliament goes missing in a small Derbyshire village, Scotland Yard detective Albert Lincoln is sent to investigate.

But as he delves deeper into the case, he realizes that nothing is as it seems.

A grim discovery is made in a cave next to an ancient stone circle called the Devil's Dancers: the naked body of a middle-aged man mutilated beyond recognition.

The local police assume it is the missing politician but Albert has doubts.

Two years earlier, he conducted another traumatic murder investigation in the same village and he finds reminders of a particularly personal tragedy all around him as he tries to help a vicar's widow who claims her husband was murdered.

As the body count rises, Albert must unravel the tangled web of secrets and lies that surrounds him.

Will he be able to solve the case before it's too late?
