When a well-preserved body is retrieved from deep in an Irish peat bog the questions begin. Piecing together the growing evidence, Carrie O’Neill, a bog body specialist, endeavours to make sense of all she learns about The Find. But can science alone interpret the world we live in?

“A fascinating journey where archaeology and religion meet in explosive tensions to reveal hidden danger, historical mysteries and difficult choices.” Dr Emma Tollefsen, bog body scientist.
