HIS TOMB IS THE DOOR
HER MIND IS THE KEY

Night after night a young archaeologist finds herself drawn to the tomb of a franklin, a man dead for five hundred years. Night after night she feels compelled to lie by his plaster effigy, haunted by dreams of love and betrayal.

Lizzie Draude has become a carrier, a transmitter between 14th century England and the present day world. And unless the flow of signals can be stopped, horrendous forces will be unleashed, and she herself will be destroyed.

"Head and shoulders above the others here is William Smethurst's combination of science fiction with a powerful historical imagination... ..
enthralling, clearly and strikingly well written"

THE TIMES

"Pasiphae would make a superb movie"
CAMBERRA TIMES

"Intrigue, politics, power, and sex.... an intriguing detective story which spans the world and the ages. Smethurst's blend of characters is fascinating, as is the ease with which he flits between time periods."
