The newest novel by the author of Firewatching, by 'a bold and brilliant new voice in crime fiction'
Sheffield's beautiful Botanical Gardens - an oasis of peace in a world filled with sorrow, confusion and pain. And then, one morning, a body is found in the Gardens. A young woman, dead from a stab wound, buried in a quiet corner. Police quickly determine that the body's been there for months. It would have gone undiscovered for years - but someone just sneaked into the Gardens and dug it up.
Who is the victim? Who killed her and hid her body? Who unburied her? And who laid two ancient Roman coins over her eyes?
In his quest to find her murderer, DS Adam Tyler will find himself drawn into the secretive world of nighthawkers: treasure-hunters who operate under cover of darkness, seeking the lost and valuable... and willing to kill to keep what they find.
That which was lost... will always be found again
