The first instalment in LJ Ross's globally bestselling DCI Ryan mystery series and the Amazon UK No.1 Bestseller. "She keeps company with the best mystery writers" - The Times "Holy Island is a blockbuster" - Daily Express "A literary phenomenon" - Evening Chronicle ------------------------------------------------------ Detective Chief Inspector Ryan retreats to Holy Island seeking sanctuary when he is forced to take sabbatical leave from his duties as a homicide detective. A few days before Christmas, his peace is shattered and he is thrust back into the murky world of murder when a young woman is found dead amongst the ancient ruins of the nearby Priory. When former local girl Dr Anna Taylor arrives back on the island as a police consultant, old memories swim to the surface making her confront her difficult past. She and Ryan struggle to work together to hunt a killer who hides in plain sight, while pagan ritual and small-town politics muddy the waters of their investigation. Murder and mystery are peppered with a sprinkling of romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set on the spectacular Northumbrian island of Lindisfarne, cut off from the English mainland by a tidal causeway. ------------------------------------------------------ Readers LOVE Holy Island... ***** "Superbly written.
