    CARVER’S QUEST
    Nick Rennison
    Imagine Harry Flashman crossed with Sherlock Holmes and you have Adam Carver. The first volume in Nick Rennison's Adam Carver series, Carver's Quest takes its readers deep into the dark underworld of Victorian London.
    It is 1870. When amateur archaeologist Adam Carver and his loyal but obdurate retainer Quint are visited in their lodgings in London’s Bedford Square by an attractive young woman, their landlady is not pleased. The visitor’s arrival pitches Carver and Quint headlong into an elaborate mystery which comes to centre on the existence (or not) of a lost text in Ancient Greek, one that may reveal the whereabouts of the treasure hoard of Philip II of Macedonia.

    Two deaths soon ensue as master and manservant follow what clues they can grasp in the roughest and most genteel parts of the teeming metropolis, with the whiff of cordite and blackmail never far from their nostrils. The scene duly shifts to Athens and in a Greece gripped by political unrest Carver and Quint join forces with Adam’s former Cambridge tutor in an attempt to track down the elusive text. But nothing is quite what it seems, and no one involved is prepared for the final, shocking denouement amidst the extraordinary hilltop monasteries of Meteora.


    NICK RENNISON has worked as a bookseller, editor, and freelance writer. His books include The Blue Plaque Guide to London, Poets on Poets and Sherlock Holmes: A Biography, sold in 8 languages.
