The remains of corpses are discovered whilst new foundations are being dug at the Norton Hotel, a building which stands on the site of an abbey, a fact which leads to a suspicion that these were religious killings. Then the hotel is burnt down and, as the first of a series of murders takes place, Carol asks for Tony's involvement. The strange thing is that these murders are identical to those committed some five hundred years earlier.—don @ minifie-1
Dr. Hill and DCI Jordan investigate when a 500-year-old skeleton is unearthed while foundations are being excavated for a hotel extension. But, underneath the remains, they find two more modern corpses. And when a journalist vanishes, and the hotel is burnt to the ground, Hill suspects the suspect may be obsessed with Joan of Arc and killing imagined heretics.
