A stolen skeleton leads to a web of mystery—and one tough, determined woman is about to unravel the shocking conspiracy that lies behind it, in this lively book by “one of Britain’s most consistently excellent crime novelists” (The Times, London).
The unexplained death of a diplomat in Baghdad; the mysterious disappearance of a Roman skeleton from an archaeological dig; the suicide of a British scientist in California - three apparently unconnected incidents - but the secret to them all lies in an abandoned station on Thirlsike Waste.
