Never Trust a Dead Man

When Selwyn is accused of murdering his rival, Farold, he is sealed in the village burial cave with Farold, he is sealed in the village burial cave with Farold's mouldering corpse to await starvation - or worse. Worse comes along quickly in the form of a witch who raises Farold from the dead. Selwyn thought he disliked Farold when he was alive, but that was nothing compared to working by the dead man's side as they searched for the real killer.
