From Hidden Places

True-Fact Thriller on Southern Europe's Gripping Past For months now, the earth near Naples, Italy, has been shaking, and while Europe holds its breath and watches its south with growing concern, the breathtaking thriller series set in the region finally arrives also in the USA. *"Breathtaking. Gripping. Based on true events."* The ancient city of Herculaneum lies buried beneath volcanic tuff, hidden on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, just south of Naples. Deep within its ruins, entombed in lava, rests one of the world's greatest treasures-the famed Villa of the Papyri. Only a small portion of its mysterious arcades has been explored, through tunnels that reach 30 meters underground...

Colonel Camarata and Professor Cariello embark on a thrilling quest to unravel the mystery of his death and a strange, cryptic manuscript. What follows is a captivating chase through the shadowy tunnels beneath the volcano, the breathtaking azure shores of the Bay of Naples, and the heart of ancient secrets. This suspenseful thriller, grounded in historical facts, will leave you on the edge of your seat. "For archaeology enthusiasts."
