 A dog scavenging in an illegal building site digs up a bone.  A human bone.  She drags it back to where her mistress lies dead in an abandoned shed, but there are hundreds more - skeletons which have lain undisturbed for centuries beneath Gallows Hill, where Cape Town's notorious gibbets once stood. Investigative profiler Dr Clare Hart is called in by Captain Riedwaan Faizal of the South African Police Service's elite Gang Unit and soon discovers that a deadly secret lies hidden among those long-buried bones.  Who was the woman in the green silk dress? Who wanted her dead? Who buried her among these ancient graves? As Clare Hart gets closer to revealing the truth about Gallows Hill, she becomes entangled with a fascinating but vulnerable young woman, and is drawn into the world of art, desire and destructive jealousy.  Against the backdrop of corporate corruption and seething political tensions, Clare and Riedwaan's complex relationship remains as explosive as ever - and their very lives are at risk: the keepers of the secret of the woman in the silk dress will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried. Soft cover, good condition.  349 pages.
