Behind a villa in the heart of Tuscany lies a Renaissance garden of enchanting beauty. Its grottoes, pagan statues & classical inscriptions seem to have a secret life of their own – & a secret message, too, for those with eyes to read it.

Young scholar Adam Strickland is just such a person. Arriving in 1958, he finds the Docci family, their house & the unique garden as seductive as each other. But post-War Italy is still a strange, even dangerous place, & the Doccis have some dark skeletons hidden away which Adam finds himself compelled to investigate.

Before this mysterious & beautiful summer ends, Adam will uncover two stories of love, revenge & murder, separated by 400 years… but is another tragedy about to be added to the villas cursed past?

Film stars such as Steve Mc Queen visited Meriden for their Triumphs. But on the brink of what should have been its biggest ever sales season, the BSA parent company dramatically collapsed.

There followed protracted political negotiations, affected all the while by national government changes, ministers attitudes, national & international economic conditions &, throughout all this, the world's continuing desire for the Triumph. As much a study of changing socio political attitudes as of an economically traumatic time for both Triumph & the country, socialist John Rosamond's unique position within the workers co-operative makes this work a fascinating account of a story never before told from the inside.
