Publisher's Synopsis
He stood, rooted to the spot, panic mounting with the sense of remembered evil. Slowly, he moved to the gallery, his imagination running riot, his thoughts taking a frightening turn. Then, in the torch's beam he saw mammoth after mammoth, clearly cut with deep lines, scratches running deep into their bodies... The love-hate relationship between a young man and the anthropologist who adopted him starts in Amsterdam and moves swiftly to Malta and the isles of Greece. The consuming passion of the old man's life is his dedicated pursuit of the origins of early man. And the son, as he gradually uncovers his father's past, begins to understand what drives him so relentlessly.
