When 16-year-old Caitlin Reynolds fails to return home from school, Detective Inspector Sarah Quinn soon realizes this is no ordinary missing persons case. How could a schoolgirl vanish in broad daylight with no witnesses? Why is Caitlin's mother so unhelpful and hostile to the police? Then the note arrives, referring to a crime committed more than fifty years earlier - and it becomes clear that someone is playing a childish - but all too deadly - game with the police. To make matters worse, journalist Caroline King has got hold of the story - and Sarah Quinn's troubles are only just beginning

Eight hundred pages have been reduced into most of this slim book. Some lines from Iliad and the Odyssey have been translated from Greek and these have been put into italics. Perhaps the reader will go on to study a translation from the ancient Greek in its entirety. For the works of Homer glitter with the golden garments and vessels of the gods. They shine with the sparkle of bronze and are full of the wonder of a world where gods and mortals mingle.

Gives an account of the lives of the race of men, half human, half God, who were worshipped in their own right by the ancient Greeks side by side with their original Gods. These legendary tales of their feats of guile, strength and courage, which are the roots of much of the Western world's philosophy, together with their success in the sporting arena.

Essential reading for the newcomer to the ancient history of Greece and a voyage of discovery with reference to the background of names that are given to this day in every branch of Greek life.
