Synopsis

A quest unlike anything you’ve seen before. Except, of course, Homer did something similar with his excursion to Troy. But where has Helen gone this time?

 

When a drunken Morris dancer sparks rumours of a Spectral Flasher in a quiet Suffolk village, a far greater disturbance is already under way. A hoard of Roman antiquities – including Greek statuettes – sets detectorists, dealers and bankers on a chase from rural England to a Geneva auction room. Murder follows the money, bodies fall, and Helen of Troy proves as dangerous in bronze as she ever was in the flesh.

 

Paris, Hector and Menelaus all give it a miss. Fortunately, Detective Inspector Maniakos is on the case, aided by the sharp-eyed, accident-prone Marples twins, Lucy and Jean, who always seem to be in the wrong place at the right time…

 

The ancient question remains: will Helen’s abductors hold on to her this time?
