"Suspenseful from page one - fast and original ... Completely involving and unpredictable. Best read this year." -- UKA Crime Writers

"A fascinating, richly detailed look at the past, in a gripping present day mystery..." -- Barnacle Reviews

"FOOTPRINTS IN THE ASH twists and turns through treachery, greed and betrayal in its plot of archaelogical mystery, with highly entertaining and authoritative descriptions of people and events along the way ... a craftily written thriller, full of absorbing puzzles and characters."
