It hints at the existence of an extraordinary artifact that-if he can find it-would redefine history. Traveling in one of Europe's earliest automobiles, he sets out in search of this strange treasure. Thirty-five years later, a Portuguese pathologist devoted to the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie finds himself at the center of a mystery of his own and drawn into the consequences of Tomás's quest. Fifty years on, a Canadian senator takes refuge in his ancestral village in northern Portugal, grieving the loss of his beloved wife. But he arrives with an unusual companion: a chimpanzee. And there the century-old quest will come to an unexpected conclusion. 0aAntiquitiesvFiction.9674777 0aQuests (Expeditions)vFiction.9674778 0aPortugalvFiction.9674779 7aHistorical fiction.2lcsh9674578  c17791d17791  00102nml40708FICaWPRObWPROcMezd2024-07-05edonationl0oFIC MARy HighpFIC0052r2024-05-20 00:00:00yMONO
