'Family turmoil, unanswered questions, romance and betrayal, all served up against the backdrop of Greece and its enchanting history' Daily Express



When Helena inherits her grandparents' apartment in Athens, she is overwhelmed with memories of childhood summers spent there in the 1960s when the city was gripped by a brutal military dictatorship.



Her grandfather, remote and cruel, served as a general and as Helena sifts through the dusty rooms, she discovers a hidden hoard of priceless antiquities. How did her grandfather amass such a collection? And what was the human cost?



Helena's growing fascination for archaeology as a student - ignited by a summer spent on a dig on an Aegean island, where love and a devastating betrayal find her amid the heat and dust - fuels her determination to return the precious objects to their rightful places.



Along the way, her journey will lead her through a criminal underworld and have her wrestling with the meaning of home - for the figurine and for herself.
