Here are two books by author Elly Griffiths. &#8220;The Crossing Places&#8221; is the first in a series about archaeologist Ruth Galloway. &#8220;The Zig Zag girl&#8221; is the first of (at the present time) three books about\u00a0Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens.

She lives happily alone with her two cats in a bleak, remote area near Norfolk, land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants\u2014not quite earth, not quite sea. But her routine days of digging up bones and other ancient objects are harshly upended when a child\u2019s bones are found on a desolate beach. Detective Chief Inspector Nelson calls Galloway for help, believing they are the remains of Lucy Downey, a little girl who went missing a decade ago and whose abductor continues to taunt him with bizarre letters containing references to ritual sacrifice, Shakespeare, and the Bible. Then a second girl goes missing and Nelson receives a new letter\u2014exactly like the ones about Lucy.<\/p>\n<p>Is it the same killer? Or a copycat murderer, linked in some way to the site near Ruth\u2019s remote home?<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-3\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=norweggeneala-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=0547386060&amp;asins=0547386060&amp;linkId=b9d3383580d9c5853d5f52a3b3424837&amp;show_border=false&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=0066c0&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<h6 id=\"title\" class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"><span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\">The Zig Zag Girl (Magic Men Mysteries)<\/span> <span class=\"a-size-medium a-color-secondary a-text-normal\">Paperback<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"byline\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-micro bylineHidden feature\">by <span class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"><span class=\"a-declarative\" data-action=\"a-popover\" data-a-popover=\"{&quot;closeButtonLabel&quot;:&quot;Close Author Dialog Popover&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;contributor-info-B0028OGF5K&quot;,&quot;position&quot;:&quot;triggerBottom&quot;,&quot;popoverLabel&quot;:&quot;Author Dialog Popover&quot;,&quot;allowLinkDefault&quot;:&quot;true&quot;}\">Elly Griffiths\u00a0<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Brighton, 1950. A girl is found cut in three, and Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens is convinced the killer is mimicking a famous magic trick\u2014the Zig Zag Girl. The inventor of the trick, Max Mephisto, served with Edgar in a special ops troop called the Magic Men that used stage illusions to confound the enemy. Max still performs, touring with ventriloquists, sword-swallowers, and dancing girls. When Edgar asks for his help with the case, Max tells him to identify the victim quickly; it takes a special sidekick to do the Zig Zag Girl\u2014words that haunt Max when he learns the dead girl is Ethel, one of his best assistants to date.<\/p>\n<p>Another death, another magic trick, and still no killer.
