A team of archaeologists found six skeletons with .455 bullet wounds buried at the foot of a cliff on the Norfolk coast line.  Soon after the discovery a number of strange deaths occur and it becomes clear that someone is trying to keep what happened to the six a secret.  Though the novel is somewhat similar to the previous novel, as it follows a clear writing formula, the basic premise of the novel is very interesting and the storytelling solid.  The breadcrumbs leading to the killer are pretty well-hidden, which makes for a fun read. 3.5/5
