Burial of Ghosts - Ann Cleeves

nBefore Shetland and Vera, Ann Cleeves wrote Burial of Ghosts, a thrilling standalone crime novel--now in print in the US. n nFor Lizzie Bartholomew, a holiday in Morocco will change her life forever. But not in the way she had hoped .

. . n nLizzie had planned her trip to Marrakech as the perfect escape from her life--and her nightmares--in Northumberland.

Abandoned as a baby, and having spent her childhood moving between foster homes, Lizzie certainly has much to escape from. Morocco is the perfect paradise she had imagined, especially when she finds herself on a bus sitting next to an intriguing man who is also travelling to fulfill his dreams. n nAfter a brief affair with the fellow traveller, Lizzie returns to England.

In the days that follow, she receives a letter that states that her mysterious lover has died and left a large sum of money for her in his will. But there are conditions attached to this unexpected legacy, conditions that will alter the course of Lizzie's life forever . .
