In voluntary exile in Athens, Marcus Corvinus receives a letter from his antiquarian stepfather Priscus, who has learned that the 4A ft solid gold statue of a female baker, one of a large number of valuable gifts to the Delphic Oracle by the 6th century BC King Croesus of Lydia, has reappeared and is being offered for sale in Athens on the black market. Corvinus agrees to be his agent and to try and buy it. But, as a result, he finds himself caught up in the world of organised crime, as well as in a deadly struggle of interests with other, less scrupulous, collectors.

Praise for David Wishart's previous books:

A taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life (The Times)
innate humour and pace (Irish Times)
'A taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life' The Times
A classical crime caper out of the top drawer. (Steve Craggs, Northern Echo)
I'll certainly be chasing up the previous Marcus Corvinus novels ... These are unusual detective tales (Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph)
'innate humour and pace' Irish Times
