“The skilful Mr Lewis has made Arnold Landon an unforgettable character.” New York Times
Originally published as The Cross Bearer.
Colin Bannock is hiding quite the secret.
By day, he’s a smooth-talking lawyer. After hours, he is someone else entirely.
He corners Arnold Landon, wanting him to join his society of history fanatics.
Appalled, Arnold declines outright. He’s never been a joiner and, besides, he has enough on his plate already.
He is hunting for a lost and ancient treasure. And he knows the hiding place is close.
Then Bannock’s body washes up on the banks of the River Tyne, battered and bloated beyond recognition.
Was he also chasing the mythic treasure?
The race is on to claim the hoard.
And someone out there will stop at nothing to get there first.
Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.
