The body is identified as Frederick Blackstock, who originally came from “a “posh Norfolk family,” descendants of whom still occupy their ancestral property on the edge of the saltmarsh. Although an American airbase was located in the area, Ruth doesn’t think this particular downing was just an accident the body of this man has a bullet hole in the middle of his forehead. Ruth is called upon again when a plane from World War II, complete with a body inside of an American airman, is found during the course of site development for luxury condos. The two teamed up to solve several crimes since Ruth is an expert on bones, and now Ruth is seconded to the Serious Crime Unit, which is headed by Nelson. In the first six books, we met Ruth Galloway, now 45, who is a self-described overweight forensic archeologist at the (fictional) University of North Norfolk, and Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson of the Norfolk Police. The seventh book in the Ruth Galloway Mystery Series begins two years after the previous book. Note: Spoilers for previous books in this series.
