In the early ‘90s, an archaeology professor takes his young son exploring in the tunnels and ruins underneath Rome – and the boy is never seen again. Fourteen years later, his father has attacked a group of former students accused of having murdered the boy, but two questions remain. What were all of them really doing in ancient, underground temples in the first place, and more important, what happened? The characters as well as the story take some unexpected turns, and get to a level of emotional depth that feels real. The environment depicted is equally rich, and brings readers into the plot. It's an easy book to get involved in, both intellectually and emotionally.
