Beschreibung

A missing masterwork in wood, the last creation of a master carver who died in the violent tumult of 16th-century Germany, may be hidden in the medieval castle in the town of Rothenburg. The prize has called to Vicky Bliss, drawing her and a male colleague into the forbidding citadel and its dark secrets. But the treasure hunt soon turns deadly.
