An Air That Kills

In the first installment of the acclaimed Lydmouth series by best-selling author Andrew Taylor, workmen demolishing an old cottage in the market town of Lydmouth uncover a locked cupboard containing the skeleton of a young baby. The items found suggest the baby's burial dates back to the early 19th century, but the discovery of another murder hints that the circumstances may be more recent and points to a potential killer in the area. Journalist Jill Francis, fresh from London, seizes the opportunity to pursue what could be her first major story.
