A long derelict World War II bomb site is about to be re-developed in Berebury. The workmen digging foundations uncover a skeleton which necessitates the involvement of Inspector Sloan and DC Crosby. It may or may not be a victim of the bombing but when the post mortem uncovers a bullet they realise they have a murder case on their hands.
At first it seems that their best efforts are not going to be rewarded with any degree of success but then the local doctor is attacked returning from a night call and then one of the people interviewed by Sloan and Crosby is found dead in the same place as the skeleton.
This is an interesting story in which events from the past are reflected in the present. The story is well plotted with believable characters and some entertaining dialogue. The relationship between Sloan and Crosby is as ever uneasy but Crosby occasionally comes up with some good ideas which cause his superior to stop and think.
