Some corpses lie undisturbed longer than others. But when Emily
discovers a body hidden in plain sight amongst the ruins of
Pompeii, she sets in motion a deadly chain of events that ties her
future to the fate of a woman whose story had been lost for nearly
two thousand years. Emily and her husband, Colin Hargreaves, have
accompanied her dear friend Ivy Brandon on a trip to Pompeii. When
they uncover a corpse and the police dismiss the murder as the work
of local gangsters, Emily launches an investigation of her own. She
seems to be aided by the archaeologists excavating the ruins,
including a moody painter, the enigmatic site director, and a
free-thinking American capable of sparring with even the Duke of
Bainbridge. But each of them has secrets hiding among the ruins.
The sudden appearance of a beautiful young woman who claims a
shocking relationship to the Hargreaves family throws Emily’s
investigation off-course. And as she struggles to face an
unsettling truth about Colin’s past, it becomes clear that
someone else wants her off the case - for good. Emily’s resolve
to unearth the facts is unshakable. But how far below the surface
can she dig before she risks burying herself along with the truth?
