Captain Scott perished with four of his fellow explorers on their return from the South Pole in March 1912. Almost immediately the myth was founded, based on Scott's diaries, turning him into an icon of courage in the face of impossible circumstances. But during the final months of that journey Scott also took a series of breathtaking photographs: panoramas of the continent, superb depictions of mountains & formations of ice & snow, & photographs of the explorers on the polar trail. But these photos have never been seen
- initially fought over, neglected, then lost

...

Clare Hills, archaeologist & sometime sleuth, is struggling to finance her recently established university research institute along with her long-time friend, Dr David Barbrook.

When Professor Margaret Bockford finds the Hart Unit commercial work with a housing developer on a site in the Cotswolds, the pair are hardly in a position to refuse.

There is just one slight catch: the previous site director, Beth Kinsella, was found hanged in a copse on-site, surrounded by mutilated wildlife.

Despite initial misgivings, Clare leads a team to continue work on the dig, but with rumours about Beths mental state & her claims that the site was historically significant refusing to be laid to rest, & lingering disquiet between local residents & the developers, progress is impeded at every turn.

When one of the workers finds something unsettling, Clare suspects there may be more to Beths claims than first thought.

But can she uncover the truth before it is hidden for ever?
