Secrets of the Gap

"Secrets of the Gap" is a modern mystery set the ancient Roman Baths of Bath, England. Can events of centuries ago matter today, and will archeologists Carolyn and Greg sort them out in time? In school they butted heads, now their lives may depend on working together.

Carolyn's theories about the location of the long-buried Roman Temple come up against others who are looking for it, and for the long-missing torso of the statue of Sulis Minerva, whose head is in the Bath Museum. The rough looking Robert Hill does maintenance work in the Baths so that the can look for the statue, and museum guide Gladys Rigsby thinks he will turn the statue's base over to her. She believes reuniting the head and base will give her eternal youth. More sinister than both of them is the meeting's host, Winston Reed, who will pay top dollar for the complete statue. And he needs it before his illness overcomes him.

Carolyn and Greg -- helped by Scotty, their good-natured former professor -- need solve a secret that has lived through the ages and unmask someone who will do anything to find the ancient prize.
