'A rollicking good read' IAN RANKIN 'A fun read' OBSERVER 'Deftly
plotted and hugely entertaining' JAMES WILSON This third novel in
the Drabble and Harris thrillers is perfect for fans of
action-packed, historical
fiction.................................................................
When daring journalist Sir Percival Harris gets wind of a curious
crime in a sleepy English town, he ropes in his old friend
Professor Ernest Drabble to help him investigate. The crime is a
grave robbery, and as Drabble and Harris pry deeper, events take a
mysterious turn when a theft at the British Museum is soon followed
by a murder. The friends are soon involved in a tumultuous quest
that takes them from the genteel streets of London to the wide
plains of the United States. What exactly is at stake is not
altogether clear - but if they don't act soon, the outcome could be
a bloody conflict, one that will cross borders, continents and
oceans... Meanwhile, can Drabble and Harris's friendship - which
has endured near-death experiences on several continents, not to
mention a boarding school duel - survive a crisis in the shape of
the beautiful and enigmatic Dr Charlotte Moore?
