Items related to Shades of Death
Seventeen years after her death, the skeletal remains of an eleven-year-old girl are discovered buried deep in the caves of Derbyshire's Peak District. Close by the body lies a crudely-carved clay artefact of a sinister jackal-headed creature. In the ensuing police investigation, the secrets surrounding a group of now grown-up children and their sinister 'Egyptian game' are gradually revealed. Secrets which have lain buried for almost twenty years. Secrets which will emerge with unexpected and devastating consequences.

About the Author:
Aline Templeton grew up in Scotland and read English at Girton College, Cambridge. She has worked in education and broadcasting, and now lives in Perthshire where she is a Justice of the Peace. She has a grown-up son and daughter.
From Booklist:
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
