Blurb:
Things are looking up for Adam Matthews and Robin
Bright—their relationship is blossoming, and they’ve both been promoted. But
Robin’s a policeman, and that means murder is never far from the scene.
When a body turns up in a shallow grave at a Roman villa dig site—a body that repeatedly defies identification—Robin finds himself caught up in a world of petty rivalries and deadly threats. The case seems to want to drag Adam in, as well, and their home life takes a turn for the worse when an ex-colleague gets thrown out of his house and ends up outstaying his welcome at theirs.
While Robin has to prove his case against a manipulative and fiendishly clever killer, Adam is trying to find out which police officer is leaking information to the media. And both of them have to work out how to get their home to themselves again, which might need a higher intelligence than either a chief inspector or a deputy head teacher.

My review:
Adam, Robin and Campbell are back in another convoluted tale
of murder, mayhem and mystery. The boys have moved on to better jobs in different
towns but a body dug up in an archeological dig gives newly minted Chief Inspector
Robin Bright a puzzle that will stress even his bright mind. Adam loves his new
position as deputy head teacher but is afraid that the gossip papers will make
it difficult for him and Robin. And a couch surfing friend may need Campbells
help to move on.
This story will have your head spinning trying to keep up
with suspects and motives if only they can give a name to the body. I truly
enjoyed this story. Fans of British television detective dramas will love this
addition to the Lindenshaw Mysteries.
