A Bronze-Age burial mound close to Stonehenge, an archaeological excavation. What they were looking for was an ancient body, historical artefacts. When they found a modern-day body, it was then that the police became interested.

The person responsible keeps leading back to the brother, the upright and serious-minded Clive Grantley. Tremayne’s sure that it’s him, but Clare Yarwood’s not so sure.
But is her belief based on evidence or personal hope?
