Deep beneath the Mendip Hills, in the subterranean chill of Somerset’s Wookey Hole Caves, an archaeological triumph turns into a slaughter.
A pristine Saxon sword has just been unearthed—a priceless find set to rewrite British history. But before the celebrations can even begin, the dig’s formidable leader, Dr Emily Carter, is found brutally murdered in the caverns. Her own trowel is driven through her throat, accompanied by an archaic note promising a deadly reckoning.
When DI Harriet "Harry" Lambert and DS Tom Reed arrive, the case plunges into darkness. Emily’s bitter academic rival has an obvious motive, but when the dig’s primary financier is found lashed to a motionless mill-wheel and their lead cave diver vanishes into the flooded cave network, the body count mounts.
While sensation-seeking podcasters whip the local villages into a frenzy over an ancient curse, Harry and Tom realise the truth is far more sinister. This isn't folklore. It’s a ruthless, calculating killer willing to butcher anyone standing between them and the truth about a decades-old forgery.
Ancient caverns, claustrophobic subterranean tunnels, and deadly academic politics—The Woe in Wookey Hole is out now.
