Publisher's Synopsis
Matt Rider is made an offer that seems too good to miss. Go to Prague, find some priceless music manuscripts - and share in a fortune. Unfortunately, even for a confident backstreet PI, the clues are rather thin on the ground. All Matt knows is that a young Jewish girl called Hana Eisler had the manuscripts in Prague in 1942. Using old records from the Helios Music Academy in England, Matt tracks Hana's movements to a Nazi concentration camp in the Czech Republic. And there the trail seems to end. The American violin teacher at the Helios Academy claims to know something about Hana's family. And so does the Academy dean. Matt decides to contact Hana in a séance. Taking place in England and the Czech Republic, Academy of the Dead is an exciting hunt for lost treasure and a missing child. There are big stakes to play for - and maybe not everyone can be trusted. Academy of the Dead is the third Matt Rider detective thriller.
