'A pleasure' BERNARD CORNWELL
A beautiful landscape...
It began as the project of a lifetime. A group of archaeologists uncovering the remains of a Roman settlement in the English countryside.
A looming threat...
But strange threatening letters shatter the idyll, and former detective Jake Jackson is pulled in to investigate.
A killer closing in...
Then a murder. And now the race is on for Jake to find the killer, before they strike again...
