In the Spirit of Things

Detective inspector Connan on temporary loan to a small town gets involved in a case that turns out not just to be routine.

Enlisting the help from past and present prominent members of the village before it became a town, even the dead want to help.

A case with no live witnesses, evidence enthralled in rumours, lack of forensic.

Investigation is like walking through a forest blindfolded every tree he hits is another question.

The trail of blood Gems is the path he must follow to get to his goal.
