About the Author:
From Booklist:
Aline Templeton read English at Cambridge University and has worked in education and broadcasting. She is a justice of the peace and lives in Perthshire, Scotland, where her husband is headmaster of a public school. She has a grown-up son and daughter.
She has written numerous articles for newspapers and magazines, and her work has appeared in translation in several countries. Shades of Death is her sixth thriller, the second to be published in the United States.
The skeleton of a young girl is discovered in a cave in northern England, where it has been for nearly 20 years. The local villagers are convinced it was a sex crime, but Detective Tom Ward isn't so sure. While his supervisor preens for the media and aims for a quick solution, Ward probes the lives of the youngsters who were closest to the victim. What he finds is a gang of eight children who played a bizarre and dangerous game of ritualistic sacrifice, led by 11-year-old Jay Darke, who, despite his youth, was evil, manipulative, and brilliant. When the now grown-up Jay kills himself midway through the investigation, his malicious mind games and dark influence don't end--Jay has an accomplice who will stop at nothing to hide the gang's deepest secrets. A gripping combination of taut suspense and dark menace juxtaposed against the plodding normality of police routine. Emily Melton
