Dead bodies are piling up for Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel. Usually when a serial killer is on the loose, the pressure would be building to find the perpetrator, but the victims are all hardened criminals themselves. The national media can't believe their luck with an apparent vigilante on the streets, while Jessica's new boss seems grateful someone else is doing their job for them. But things aren't so straightforward when forensics matches blood from the apparent killer to a man already behind bars. Read by Becky Hindley ...

A new narrative history of the Viking Age, interwoven with exploration of the physical remains & landscapes that the Vikings fashioned & walked: their rune-stones & ship burials, settlements & battlefields.

To many, the word ‘ Viking’ brings to mind red scenes of rape & pillage, of marauders from beyond the sea rampaging around the British coastline in the last gloomy centuries before the Norman Conquest.

It is true that Britain in the Viking Age was a turbulent, violent place. The kings & warlords who have impressed their memories on the period revel in names that fire the blood & stir the imagination: Svein Forkbeard & Edmund Ironside, Ivar the Boneless & Alfred the Great, Erik Bloodaxe & Edgar the Pacifier amongst many others.

Evidence for their brutality, their dominance, their avarice & their pride is still unearthed from British soil with stunning regularity.
