The Skeleton Man

The English hamlet of Jude's Ferry has lain abandoned for many years. The isolated 1000-year-old community was famous for never having recorded a single crime. But when reporter Philip Dryden follows the Army to the empty village, its spotless history is literally blown apart. Practice artillery shells reveal a hidden cellar beneath the old pub and inside the cellar hangs a skeleton, a noose around its neck. Two days later, a man is pulled from the reeds of a river--he has no idea who he is or how he got there. But he knows the words 'Jude's Ferry' are important, and he knows he is afraid. Hot on the case, Dryden is convinced that these mysteries are related and that he must return to Jude's Ferry and uncover it's haunted past. But who or what is waiting for him there?Kelly, Jim is the author of 'The Skeleton Man', published 2008 under ISBN 9780312377816 and ISBN 0312377819.
