Now a major film: Flavia, starring Martin Freeman and Toby Jones!
An ancient tomb...a very modern murder When the tomb of St Tancred is opened, no one expects to find the body of the organist, lying in a pool of blood, his handsome features covered by a gas mask.
Eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce is intrigued. Why would anyone want to kill the much-admired organist in such a brutal and bizarre fashion?
Why place his body in the tomb? And what happened to the remains of the previous occupant?
The mystery leads Flavia deep into the past, to a strange story of lost manuscripts and ancient relics...
Praise for the historical Flavia de Luce mysteries: 'The Flavia de Luce novels are now a cult favourite'
Mail on Sunday 'A cross between Dodie Smith's
I Capture The Castle and the Addams family...delightfully entertaining'
