In this eccentric 13th Gideon Oliver mystery, the anthropologist and his wife encounter the rich (and crazy) Vasily Kozlov on the beautiful Isles of Scilly off the Cornwall coast. As his wife attends an ecologists' meeting, Oliver discovers a recent bone during his explorations that sparks another murder. The aging, yet horny, Oliver, with the frequent aid of his park ranger wife Julie and FBI friend, John Lau, takes another case. Filled with descriptions of Neolithic sites and moments of intense ecological debate, this mystery will expose you to fascinating and unexpected aspects of the culture.  (GBR651, $7.99)
