THE SHADOWY HORSES
When archaeologist Verity Grey joins a dig organised by wealthy eccentric Peter Quinnell at his ancestral home in Scotland, she has very little idea of what she is letting herself in for. For Quinnell, it transpires, has spent the past forty years obsessively searching for the last resting place of the Ninth Legion, the Roman Legion which mysteriously disappeared north of the border during the second century.
Quinnell is convinced he has found the site of the lost legion's camp, a conviction strengthened when a local psychic, eight-year-old Robbie McMorran, claims to have seen the ghost of a Roman legionary. Verity is gradually drawn into these supernatural goings-on -- so much so that she finds herself interrogating the ghost in Latin.
'The plot may seem fanciful, but the liveliness with which Susanna Kearsley writes, and her ability to convey atmosphere more than compensate'
