Teenager Lewis Hoxworthy discovers a disturbing painting in a medieval barn that excites archaeologist Neil Watson, who is excavating an ancient manor house nearby. When former rock star Jonny Shellmer is found shot in the head in Lewis's father's field and Lewis himself goes missing after contacting a man on the internet, Detective Sergeant Wesley Peterson suddenly faces one of his most intriguing cases yet. Is Jonny's death linked to Lewis's disappearance? And does Jonny's best-known song, "Angel," contain a clue? It soon becomes clear to Neil that the painting—a portrayal of hell and judgment more than half a millennium old—holds the key to the mystery. As events reach a terrifying climax, Wesley has to act swiftly in order to save a young life.

This review is from: A Painted Doom: A Wesley Peterson Murder Mystery (The Wesley Peterson Murder Mysteries) (Paperback)
Another in the Wesley Peterson series by Kate Ellis, this title continues following the life and work of DI Peterson, his co-workers, family and friends--especially archeologist Neil Watson. The characterization in these books is strong, and Ellis gives us enough of the personal lives of the characters that we are invested in them. All told, a well plotted, well written series.
