Ariadne's Children. A Novel

First edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, small chip to top front jacket, corners slightly bruised, slight lean. Not price clipped (£15.99), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy. 371pp. Fate brings Lionel Robertson to Crete. The assassin's bullet in Sarajevo in 1914, Minoan gemstones, a bad marriage, all lead to his obsession with Europe's earliest civilization and the excavation of Ariadne's Summer Palace. But a curse emanates from the site for later generations of his line. The author's debut novel.
