About the book: 2000 / Not far from the Quiet Grove estate, excavations of a mound are underway and even some ancient utensils have been found. This gave Richard Haydon, the owner of the estate, the idea to connect the nearby grove with the cult of the ancient goddess Astarte. On this occasion, Sir Richard's guests decided to go to the grove and perform comic rituals in honor of the goddess - but the idea ended in the death of one of the participants in the ritual.© Ank
