With its dark legends and passionate history, the windswept shores of Scotland are an archaeologist's dream. Verity Grey is thrilled by the challenge of uncovering an ancient Roman campsite in a small Scottish village. But as soon as she arrives, she sense danger in the air. Her eccentric boss, Peter Quinnell, has spent his whole life searching for the resting place of the lost Ninth Roman Legion and is convinced he's finally found it - not because of any scientific evidence, but because a local boy has 'seen' a Roman soldier walking in the fields, a ghostly sentinel who guards the bodies of his long-dead comrades. Surprisingly, Verity believes in Peter, and the boy, and even in the Sentinel, who seems determined to become her own protector. . . but from what?… (mehr)
An der wiederkehrenden Darstellung der "Plätzchen naschenden" Männer des Romans aber lässt sich das Scheitern der Autorin festmachen, sich nicht für eine klare Linie entschieden zu haben, an der sich der Roman entwickeln soll. Das "Plätzchen-naschen" wird derart häufig wiederholt, dass ein anfänglich als atmosphärisch-ironisch zu deutendes Motiv durch die Wiederholung zum kläglichen Versuch eines 'Running Gag' verkommt.

I hear the Shadowy Horses, their long manes a-shake, Their hoofs heavy with tumult, their eyes glimmering white... O vanity of Sleep, Hope, Dream endless Desire, the Horses of Disaster Plunge in the heavy clay; Beloved, let your eyes half close, and your heart beat over my heart, and your hair fall over my breast Drowning love's lonely hour in deep twilight of rest and hiding their tossing manes and their tumultuous feet

To the people of Eyemouth: So many of you have had a hand in the creation of this book, and I have spent so many hours in your company that now your streets, your homes, your harbour have a warm familiar feel, and I no longer feel a stranger to your town. But I do not belong to Eyemouth. Despite my best efforts I'm sure there will be places in this book where you will find I've got some detail wrong, or used a turn of phrase that's not your own. I can only hope that you'll forgive me any errors. And I hope that you will all accept this novel as a gift of thanks, from one to whom you've always shown great kindness.
