William Potter

Saladused meeldivad kõigile - olgu selleks siis mõistatus, salakiri, kadunud varandus või lahendamata mõrv. Ja mida iidsem on saladus, seda mõistatuslikum ja paeluvam see on. Raamatus uuritakse ajaloo kuulsamaid ja ebatavalisemaid saladusi, mille hulgas leidub muuhulgas ka selliseid, mis on inimesi paelunud juba tuhandeid aastaid. Mõned neist on kirjalikust ajaloost vanemadki. Neist on meieni jõudnud ainult kivid, nikerdused ja raidkirjad, mille üle pead murda. Põnevust pakuvad ka mitme tuhande aasta tagused lahendamata surmajuhtumid, tervete tsivilisatsioonide ootamatu ja jahmatav kadumine ning salapäraste monumentide loomine, mille puhul püüab autor välja selgitada, kas neis ebatavalistes lugudes ka tõetera leidub. Aastate jooksul välja pakutud erinevate teooriate hoolika analüüsiga püüab William Potter jõuda selleni, mis tegelikult juhtus.
