From the Back Cover
THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES
When their guide disappears mysteriously in the depths of a Roman Basilica, the members of Mr Sebastian Mauler's tour group seem strangely unperturbed. But when a body is discovered in an Etruscan sarcophagus, Superintendent Alleyn, in Rome on the trail of an international drug racket, is very much concerned...
