The Viking's Skull

The Viking's Skull

John R. Carling

A father wrongly accused of murder. A ring carved with runes that speak of Viking gold. A tomb that should hold ancient dead but instead holds something far more sinister. When Idris Breakspear arrives at the decaying estate of the Ravengars, he carries only his mother's stolen ring and a coded message in ancient Norse: a map to treasure buried beneath the cliffs. But the tomb yields no gold only a skeleton with a wound too fresh for centuries-old stone. Now Idris must trace a trail of blood that stretches back fifteen years to his father's disappearance, into a web of secrets woven by the Ravengars of Ravenhall. This is a novel about the重量 of inheritance, not of titles or money, but of guilt. The dead do not rest easily in Brittany, and some crimes are so old they have become indistinguishable from the landscape itself.
