Full of great characters - Patrick Kane, leader of the archaeological dig, haunted by his past; beautiful Bobby who is a constant reminder of Patrick's former wife; unscrupulous local businessman, Roger Little, who scuppers the original dig; CD, an American with a pet raven called Edgar; Dozer, a former Hell's Angel and finally, Bobby's brother, Joe, whose magical song about a German Queen leads them to the place of her burial. I began reading this book rather reluctantly but found myself pleasantly surprised and quickly drawn into the lives of these characters.
