When Alan Morris disappears, his great-niece, Charlotte, regrets never having got to know him better.

But when Charlotte arrives she finds more than just a few old stones. When a schoolboy disappears on a tour of the site, and turns up dead not long afterward, Detective Inspector George Felse takes charge of the case and finds himself having to solve a mystery whose roots go back to ancient Roman times...
