A lost Roman mosaic of extraordinary significance…
A small community riven in two…
When Anna Warne and ex-detective Ben Elias are asked to investigate a spate of ugly threats and vicious attacks in a sleepy Wiltshire village, they have little idea where the case will lead. But the recent excavation of a nearby mosaic with a possible Arthurian connection suggests there may be more to it than first meets the eye.
A hoard of immense significance is found, yet missing a vital piece. A man is murdered. As the stakes rise, so does the urgency, forcing Anna and Elias to unearth long-buried secrets in their quest for answers, while also drawing closer to a discovery of unparalleled importance.
But it isn’t just the truth they’re fighting for any more. It’s their own survival.

Another well researched and written book in this series. The legend of King Arthur is one of histories great mysteries did he live or was he folktale sadly I don’t think we will ever know and just have to enjoy books like this using as much of the legends as possible to weave a terrific story. Can’t wait for the next instalment.
