Elly Griffiths

    17. august 1963

    Táto autorka čerpá inšpiráciu pre svoje detektívne romány o Ruth Gallowayovej zo svojho manžela, ktorý opustil prácu v meste a stal sa archeológom, a zo svojej tety žijúcej na pobreží Norfolku, ktorá jej rozprávala miestne mýty a povesti. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje hlbokým prepojením s krajinou a jej históriou. Kladie dôraz na archeologické prvky a folklór, čím do detektívnych zápletiek vnáša jedinečnú atmosféru a hĺbku. Jej diela sú fascinujúcou sondou do minulosti a jej vplyvu na súčasnosť.

Nelson is called to an apparent murder-suicide of a couple at the isolated Black Dog Farm. Local legend talks of the Black Shuck, a spectral hound that appears to people before they die. Nelson ignores this, even when the owner's suicide note includes the line, 'He's buried in the garden.' Ruth excavates and finds the body of a giant dog. All roads lead back to this farm in the middle of nowhere, but the place spells serious danger for anyone who goes near. Ruth doesn't scare easily. Not until she finds herself at Black Dog Farm
