'The Jake Jackson books get better and better' ELLY GRIFFITHS `Highly recommend' KARIN SLAUGHTER '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.
