Description: Professor of anthropology Gideon Oliver, and his wife Julie, take a much-needed holiday in Italy. Their friend Phil has invited them to his family's island in Lake Maggiore. But the breathtaking view and sumptuous food come at a price. When some bones are unearthed in the locality, Colonel Caravale of the CARABINIERI calls on Gideon's expertise. Knowing that his host's son has been kidnapped, Gideon sets out to identify the bones. But along the way, he exposes some deceptions that lay bare the malignant, long-hidden secrets at the dark heart of a highborn family.
