The sheer volume of talk about energy, energy prices, and energy policy on both sides of the political aisle suggests that we must know something about these subjects. But according to Peter W.

Увлекшись расследованием, Чедвик слишком…

Поначалу сад не вызывал у Адама особого интереса, но позже, когда в расположении и позах античных скульптур проявился некий сюжет, Адам понял, что сад заключает в себе послание. Вилла, в которой всегда была заперта дверь на третий этаж, и сад хранили тайны семьи Доччи. И далеко не все были рады тому, что Адам попытался их раскрыть...

Young Cambridge scholar Adam Banting is in Tuscany, assigned to write a scholarly monograph about the famous Docci garden—a mysterious world of statues, grottoes, meandering rills, and classical inscriptions. As his research deepens, Adam comes to suspect that buried in the garden’s strange iconography is the key to uncovering a long-ago murder. But the ancient house holds its own secrets as well. And as Adam delves into his subject, he begins to suspect that he is being used to discover the true meaning of the villa’s murderous past.
