Sometimes the oldest secrets are the hardest ones to keep.

When retired police detective, Albert Smith, and his dog wander into a small town in the French mountains, no one expects the trouble they will uncover.

A body has been unearthed at a nearby archaeological dig and it's clear no one was ever supposed to find it. The locals deny all knowledge; they have no idea who it could be, but there is something disturbing about how they all give the exact same answer.

And what of the archaeologists? What were they really looking for? It wasn't the Stone Age settlement they claim to be after. Does everyone in this town have a secret they don't want exposed?

Together with his trusted sidekick, Albert and Rex are going to get to the bottom of the mystery.

He could walk away, there's nothing to make him investigate. But Albert has an old school way of thinking and when things don't add up he just cannot help but poke his nose in.

Industry Reviews

"I love this series; an elderly man and his failed police dog getting mixed up in dodgy dealings - fabulous! Once I start one of these books, I have a job to put it down before finishing it. I look forward to the next adventure!"

"Thoroughly enjoyable! This book has kept me awake late into the night as I found the plot and the characters fascinating! Happy I have the next two books in the series already waiting for me!"

"Again, I thoroughly enjoyed Albert and rex books love the way Albert always seems to find a crime it as if he a magnet for them .looked forward to next one in the series

Thank you Steve Higgs for another great book."
