It was supposed to be a much-needed Italian holiday for the renowned professor of anthropology, Gideon Oliver. True, his wife, Julie, is there to help their friend Phil run a guided tour, but Gideon himself is looking forward to a few days R and R. So when Phil invites the couple to his wealthy family's idyllic island in Lake Maggiore, the Olivers accept with enthusiasm. But the breathtaking view and sumptuous food come at a price. When some bones are unearthed in the locality, Colonel Caravale of the local carabinieri calls on Gideon's expertise. Learning that his host's son has been kidnapped, Gideon sets out to identify the bones-and along the way, exposes some extraordinary deceptions that lay bare the malignant, long-hidden secrets at the dark heart of a highborn family.
