Publisher's Synopsis
Lucy E Hawksmoor, expert on all things Arabic and professor of history at Granada University, is now nearer than ever to finding the final resting place of Boabdil, last king of the Moors, but each step closer to her goal brings her life and those she loves and cares for into mortal danger. The Far Right are finding different and terrifying ways to get what they want, even resorting to poisoning and witchcraft, and the stakes are getting higher for Lucy. And then she comes across the mysterious and shadowy Daughters of the Dead - but do they all really have her best interests at heart?
Ultimately, Lucy realises she must face the dangers alone, for unwittingly only she holds the key to what really happened 600 years before in Granada. The promise Boabdil made and the discovery of the truth about what really happened is in her hands, yet Lucy fears she may have trusted one person too many and in a nail-biting climax she realises she could bring both her world and the past tumbling down.
This is the exciting sequel to 'Let the Dead Hold Your Hand', a modern tale of mystery, political intrigue and history all wrapped in a story of love, bravery, and trust with, at the centre, a new and different hero for the 21st century, the enigmatic Lucy E. Hawksmoor.
