The second in the series set in the Derbyshire Peak District Dancing with the Virgins is a tense psychological follow-up to Stephen Booths acclaimed debut Black Dog. The body of the woman sprawled obscenely among the stones! She looked like a dead woman dancing. The ring of cairns known as the Nine Virgins has stood on the windswept moors of Derbyshire for centuries. Now as winter closes in a tenth figure is added -- a body -- & a modern tragedy is added to the dark legend that surrounds the stones. Theres no shortage of suspects each with their own guilty secret but what DS Fry & DC Cooper lack is any kind of motive. As they search separately for answers it seems the reasons for the strange behaviour of the moors inhabitants may lie somewhere in the past in a terrible crime yet to be discovered!
