Hollow Grave
Did she disappear? Or was she taken?
1999. A group of archaeologists are excavating a Bronze Age burial site in the grounds of Trusloe Hall, a minor stately home in Wiltshire. Excited that their dig is being filmed for a TV documentary, the group are camping onsite and having the time of their lives. In the blink of an eye, one of the party disappears: a young woman called Nazma Kirmani. An extensive police investigation fails to find any trace of her, and the case goes cold for over twenty years.
2020. When a chance discovery presents new evidence into Nazma's disappearance, DI Lockyer and DC Gemma Broad are put on the case. Did Nazma intend to disappear, or was she taken? Did she walk out on her life, or was she murdered? Lockyer must see past the upheavals in his own life to find out the truth for her desperate family.

Reviews for Hollow Grave
'The totally compelling and atmospheric DI Lockyer series goes from strength to strength, and this is my favourite yet. It's not just the impeccably plotted mystery that keeps you turning the pages, but the wonderful detectives at its heart.'
Kate Riordan, author of 'The Heatwave' and 'Summer Fever'
'Hollow Grave is another pitch-perfect crime novel in what's now one of my absolute favourite series. Written with Webb's trademark compassion and descriptive prowess, it's a story that's atmospheric and unsettling, with a deeply satisfying conclusion. The winning partnership of DI Lockyer and DC Broad goes from strength to strength with every novel, their personal lives every bit as compelling as their professional investigations. I loved it, and can't wait for the next.'
Mimi Hall - bestselling author of 'The Shell House Mysteries'.
