About this book

'I have never written down the answers to the deepest mysteries, nor will I ever' - the philosopher Plato wrote these words more than 2000 years ago. 12 golden tablets sit in museums around the world, each providing the dead with the route to the afterlife. Archaeologist Lily Barnes has just found another, but this tablet names the location to the mouth of hell itself - and then Lily vanishes.
