The novel “Mind of Stone” by Iain McLaughlin was published for the first time in 2016.

Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart has been remanded at Wormwood Scrubs Prison but the charges against him are a secret known only to very few people. While he waits to be officially charged, his main concern is to understand who among the prisoners could pose a danger to him.

None of Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart’s subordinates nor Anne Travers appear to have any idea what the charges are against him and his superiors provide no information. Their job must continue and concerns strange statues present in both a military installation and in an Egyptian museum. What’s the connection with a secret cargo carried by a military convoy commanded by Colonel Pemberton in 1968?
