# The Body Beneath the Willows by Nick Louth (Paperback)

It's not only secrets that are buried by the water... A gripping crime thriller from bestseller master Nick Louth

On the tree-lined banks of Surrey's River Wey, a decaying corpse is dug up by workmen 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 employed by the same water firm doing the digging who disappeared six months ago, his crashed company car found nearby.

But then an X-ray of the corpse throws the investigation into turmoil. A shard of metal lodged in his neck turns out to be part of an Anglo-Saxon dagger unknown to archaeologists. Who wielded this mystery weapon and why? Does the answer lie in a murderous feud between two local families?

The deeper Gillard digs, the more shocking truths he will uncover.

**A totally original crime mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end, _The Body Amongst the Willows_ is an absolute thrill-ride, perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Ann Cleeves and Mark Billingham.**
