Cultures of all epochs have consulted oracles in times of need. This fascinating exploration of the enduring popularity of oracles examines how they are interpreted and why. Taking examples from literature and history, from the oracles at Delphi to those in Macbeth, and further still to the works of Kafka and Bob Dylan, and even in the film The Matrix, Wood combines storytelling and commentary to provide a lively account of humanity's persistent faith in signs, which continues to exert an important influence on the course of civilization.

Two bodies, one on the Island of Rhodes, the other in the northern forests of mainland Greece. Are they connected? Is one, or are both, a victim of murder? By whom, and how? A woman goes missing, a man's body is found, recently dead, washed in by the stormy seas a thousand miles away. Pericles Kostakides, detective, finds himself in a spider's web leading him from his quiet island life on Rhodes to Glastonbury, to north Queensland and back in his attempt to piece together a mystery. Meanwhile his mother decides to perform a ritual of healing, in the manner of the priestesses of old, at Delphi, where the Oracle remains.
