Originally published as A Grave Error.
This ancient grave won’t stay empty for long.
Arnold Landon heads to Rome, ready to begin retraining for his own job.
His first port of call? An ancient tomb out in the sun-scorched Roman hills.
Arnold treads the dark and twisty path down to the burial chamber, expecting to find nothing but old bones.
Instead, he stumbles on fresh blood and a much more recently dead body.
The man’s throat’s been slit, but Arnold recognizes him immediately. Cosimo. A tour guide who was once part of a gang of Roman grave robbers.
Has his murky past finally caught up with him? Arnold’s loath to stick around to find out.
But when the blood feud follows him back to Northumberland, it seems he may not have a choice.
Can Arnold unravel the mystery before the ruthless killer strikes again?
Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.
WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING ABOUT THE ARNOLD LANDON MYSTERIES:

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.
