Summary

The Shadows and the Dust‘You may call it a sin; I say it was an act of desperation.’Like all pathologists, Cuthbert finds dealing with dead children the hardest part of his job. However, when the body of a young boy is found in the grounds of a church orphanage, Cuthbert not only has to steel himself for the task ahead, he is also forced to revisit his own childhood grief.The boy in his shallow grave has been interred with some ritual, but just how did he die? And why was he killed? Working closely with his assistant and the team at Scotland Yard, Cuthbert slowly and painstakingly reveals the terrible truth.But as he does so, he must confront even greater challenges — both from the shadows cast by the present, and the long dead dust of his past.
