The Skeleton Man
by Jim Kelly (9781847820815)

The abandoned Cambridgeshire hamlet of Jude's Ferry, requisitioned by the Ministry of Defense in 1990, was used for military training. The ancient community had famously never recorded a single crime. But when reporter Philip Dryden joins the Territorial Army on exercise in the empty village, the shelling reveals a hidden cellar. Inside hangs a skeleton, a noose around its neck... Two days later, a man, pulled from the river near Ely, doesn't know who he is, but he knows the words 'Jude's Ferry' are important - and he's afraid... Dryden, convinced the key to the mystery rests in the last days of the village when prejudices and hatred came to a head, is led back to Jude's Ferry. But who is waiting for him there?
