The body  beneath the willows

Summary: "It's not the secrets that are buried by the water...On the tree-lined banks of Surrey's River Wey a decaying body is dug up in the middle of an Anglo-Saxon burial site. His modern dental fillings show that this is no Dark Age corpse. DCI Craig Gillard is called in, but the body's condition makes identification difficult. One man, however, seems to fit the bill: Ozzy Blanchard, a contractor who disappeared six months ago. But a metal shard lodged in his neck, part of an Anglo-Saxon dagger unknown to archaeologists, throws the investigation into turmoil. Who wielded this mystery weapon, and why? The deeper Gillard digs, the more shocking truths hw will uncover"--Back cover.
