The Funeral Boat

When a skeleton is discovered on a small farm, DS Wesley Peterson, a keen amateur archaeologist is intrigued by the possibility that it is a Viking corpse, buried in keeping with ancient traditions. But he has a more urgent crime to solve - the disappearance of a Danish tourist.

His boss Gerry Heffernan believes that the Ingeborg's disappearance is linked to a spate of brutal robberies and that she witnessed something she shouldn't have. But is her disappearance linked to far older events? For it seems that this may not have been Ingeborg's first visit to this far from quiet West Country backwater...
