Something evil lurks in the dark tunnels beneath Norwich – forensic archaeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway should be more careful where she steps.

"My current favorite crime series... a pleasure from start to finish." - Val McDermid

Cooked human bones have been found in the network of underground tunnels in Norwich. When forensic archaeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway discovers that the bones are not as old as initially thought, it’s time for DCI Nelson to launch a murder investigation. What initially seemed like a medieval curiosity has turned into something much more sinister. Meanwhile, DS Judy Johnson is investigating the disappearance of a local homeless woman. The only clue to her whereabouts is the rumor that she has "gone underground." That may be a figure of speech, but with the discovery of the bones and the stories that both Ruth and the police have heard about a large community of homeless people living in the old chalk mining tunnels beneath Norwich, the evidence points in only one direction. Local scientist Martin Kellerman knows everything about the tunnels and their history – but could his claims of cannibalism and ritual killings possibly be true?

As the weather heats up, tensions rise. A local woman is missing, and the police are under attack. Ruth and Nelson must uncover the dark secrets of The Underground and find out what cruel truths lie at its heart – before it claims another victim.
