The Skeleton Room (Wesley Peterson, Band 7)

The 7th novel in Kate Ellis's wonderfully addictive Wesley Peterson series

When builders converting a former girls' school, Chadleigh Hall, into a luxury hotel discover a skeleton in a sealed room, DI Wesley Peterson and his boss, Gerry Heffernan are called in to investigate.

But they soon have a second suspicious death on their hands: a team of marine archaeologists working on a nearby shipwreck off the Devon coast have dragged a woman's body from the sea.

As Wesley investigates Chadleigh Hall's past and the woman's violent death, both trails lead in surprising directions. Matters are further complicated when a man wanted for murder in London appears on the scene - a man who may know more about the case than he admits . . .
