DESCRIPTION: In Lisbon in 1904, a young man named TomBs discovers an old journal. It hints at the existence of an extraordinary artifact that if he can find it would redefine history. Travelling in one of Europe's earliest automobiles, he sets out in search of this strange treasure. Thirtyfive years later, a Portuguese pathologist devoted to the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie finds himself at the centre of a murder mystery of his own and drawn into the consequences of TomBs'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 centuryold quest will come to an unexpected conclusion. The High Mountains of Portugal part quest, part ghost story, part contemporary fable offers a haunting exploration of great love and great loss. Filled with tenderness, humour and endless surprises, it takes the reader on a road trip through Portugal in the last century and through the human soul.
