From the creator of Cadfael. When Lucas Corinth is invited back to the Alpine town of Gries-am-See, it is as a favoured native son. Since his boyhood there during the War, he has become a world-famous conductor and composer – it’s fitting he should be the guest of honour at the premier of his new work, The Horn of Roland. But the past overshadows the celebrations: Corinth’s presence provokes bitter memories of the occupation, danger and secrecy, that gives rise to an implacable threat.  In revenge for an act of betrayal, Corinth’s life is at risk.  The identity of the avenger is a mystery and one that must be solved if tragedy is to be averted.
