A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To reach the living, navigate the dead...

In a villa on the coast of Montenegro, Abby Cormac witnesses the brutal murder of her lover, diplomat Michael Lascaris. The last thing she remembers is a gun pointed directly at her. She wakes to find herself at the centre of a diplomatic nightmare. Everyone wants an answer but no one wants to listen. Even her employers at the Foreign Office believe she's hiding something. She is completely alone.

As Abby tries to piece together the last few months of Michael's life in order to get at the truth, she soon realises that he wasn't quite what he seemed. What exactly was his relationship with one of the most ruthless men in the Balkans - a war criminal who has never been brought to justice? And what links Michael's gift to her of a gold necklace with its Christian monogram, a 4th century manuscript left in the shadow of Emperor Constantine's palace at Trier and an inscription on a tomb in Rome?

When Abby investigates further, it becomes clear that someone wants to suppress a secret, one that has been kept hidden for centuries. And they will stop at nothing to do so...

Quatrième de couverture

Some secrets should stay buried forever...

Abby Cormac spent ten years trying to put the world's worst criminals behind bars. Burned out, she thinks she's left it all behind - until a terrible act of violence shatters her life once more. In a luxurious villa on the Adriatic coast, her lover, Michael, is murdered and Abby is left for dead.

Terrified and alone, Abby vows to bring Michael's killer to justice. But when her investigation takes her across Europe and in contact with one of the Balkans' most notorious gangsters, she soon realises that Michael wasn't the man she thought she knew. He had discovered a secret - a legacy of betrayal and murder hidden by a conspiracy of silence - and Abby's convinced that unravelling this secret will lead her to the truth. But powerful enemies are watching her every move and they will stop at nothing to ensure the secrets of the dead never come to light...
