About
Former London detective Jake Jackson finds his new life in the country threatened when an old case from the past buried deep within an archeological dig site resurfaces in this beautiful written and deeply immersive mystery that will challenge your deductive skills.
A beautiful landscape . . .
It began as the project of a lifetime-a group of archaeologists, uncovering the remains of a Roman settlement on a picturesque hill in the glorious English countryside.

A killer closing in . . .
Soon, threatening letters are the least of their problems, when a murderer strikes. Now, the race is on for Jake to find the mysterious culprit, before they kill again . . .
