My Lady of the Bog follows the American anthropologist, Xander Donne, as he seeks to unravel the ultimate "cold case": that of a beautiful young woman found in an English bog, her nude body pinned down with stakes. Though she's thought at first to be a recent murder victim, Donne identifies her as an ancient sacrifice, wondrously preserved by the bog's airless waters, and dead for 700 years!During his examination of her body, he pulls off the rune-inscribed stakes. Too late he learns their inscription warns against precisely this, saying, "Do not remove these stakes. This woman is a witch." Donne's investigation into the mysterious woman's identity and frightful death takes him from contemporary England to India's medieval Moghul Empire, embroiling him in an illicit passion with a gorgeous, enigmatic Deshi princess with, just maybe, a penchant for murder.Peter Hayes' mystery is a meditation on the meaning of human sacrifice, a love story and historical mystery enfolded within a modern one.

3.5 My Lady of the Bog
My Lady of the Bog is part Archeo-Forensic mystery, like the title says but is also part enchantment and magic. The first mystery begins when a perfectly preserved body of a beautiful woman is found in a peat bog of a small English town. The woman is not only beautiful, but staked down to the peat...

My Lady of the Bog is really a book with two mysteries which even though the two mysteries take place hundreds of years apart they are connected. This book follows Xander Donne, an American Anthropologist, as he is brought in when a woman's body is found in a bog in England. While the people who fin...
