Book ID/图书代码： 02630508B28969
English Summary/英文概要： ’Where are you heading?’ Leo replied ’Where do you need to go?’ He got in, wondering how she knew about the loss, then they drove into the night and whatever was waiting there. A motorcyclist with a stolen ring walks into Rothiemurchus Forest until he finds a quiet place to die. A woman with an eventful past has signed the Official Secrets Act and gone to Dumfries to forget a man and keep out of trouble. In comfortable Crieff, a retired historian publishes an obscure article on the survival of the Stone of Destiny, then has his throat cut. A man with a long blade in a tan holster under his suit, a fondness for bird-watching, and memories of his short-lived Punk band Anger Management, has taken a commission to retrieve an object so valuable and mythic it might not exist.A rugby-playing half-Maori named Leo Nagotoa stands in the sleet by Romanno Bridge in the Scottish Borders, trying to thumb a lift when his Destiny slithers up alongside him. The hunt for the crowning stone of the Dalriadic kings, the Stone of Scone - is worth enough to make life cheap for some and dear to others - has begun. Some of the cast of The Return of John Macnab are back, but the times and the mood have changed. "Romanno Bridge" is a wintry thriller, an entertainment, a quest and an exploration of contemporary themes of fakes, frauds, copies, and a struggle to find the Real Thing, wherever and whatever it might be.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一块石头引发的神秘历险记！ 命运之石，一块命运多舛的石头，在战争中流离他乡，被锁在异国的教堂里。
然而，消息传出这不是货真价实的原物。
于是一场寻找圣石的旅途即将开始！
守护了几个世纪的秘密即将公布天下，
神秘的信徒，邪恶的歹徒，离奇死去的历史学家，谜团笼罩着整部书。
真正的石头究竟在哪里呢?
小说中的主人公Kirsty和她的伙伴们在苏格兰高原上疯狂地寻觅传说中丢失的命运之石，他们得一路追踪信息解密，还要与强盗作战，途中，在接受拜访之前，一个个年迈的历史学家相继惨烈死去，让主人公一伙人陷入困境……
传说，在英格兰与苏格兰的战争中，英王爱德华一世夺去苏格兰的镇国之宝—命运之石，并将它存放在威斯敏斯特教堂。可不久之后，一伙学生将石头偷了出来，从此谣言传出，说在英格兰国王染指命运之石前，苏格兰人早就偷天换日将石头藏匿好了，因此维斯敏特教堂里的石头不过是快赝品。
主人公Kirsty 原本是个麻烦不断的律师，她也是作者前一部小说The Return of John MacNab 的主角。当她从将要死去的熟人那儿接受月亮戒指时意外知晓了这个故事。这个熟人与当年的失窃案有关，他希望 Kirsty 能将秘密继续延续下去。
月亮戒指是月光信使的信物，月光信使有三人，这个熟人便是其中一人，就是他们在爱德华夺取命运之石前将石头转移了。将印在衬托纸上的古诗歌连在一起，他们就能找到这块石头。
冒着生命危险，Kirsty 召集来The Return of John MacNab 的老伙伴们，开始追踪命运之石的下落。他们还跋涉到了挪威，从奥斯陆的街头艺人那儿获取了许多线索，同时也碰上了很多麻烦。(YM)
