Description:

When the first member of the staff at a Turkish excavation is murdered and a mosaic floor disappears overnight from her site, archaeologist Tamar Saticoy plunges into a shady world of the antiquities trade in the quest to discover who is responsible for the theft of important artifacts.
Tamar traces the mosaic floor to Basel, Switzerland, where the captivating prince of antiquities dealers, Gilberto Dela Barcolo, and his enigmatic friend, Enzio Egidio, charm her. Soon she finds herself enmeshed in a tangle of deceit, theft, and forgery.
Battling smoke and mirrors, she discovers that no one is who they seem. Two more members of the excavation staff are killed: her venal colleague Chatham, who has discovered a hoard of Thracian gold in Bulgaria, and Orman who--like Tamar--s following the trail of the stolen mosaic.
Unless she can crack this case, Tamar herself may become the next target for murder.

  • Former archeologist Baron has slipped off form a bit in her third novel, a somewhat confusing mystery about the contemporary trade in stolen antiquities. Tamar Saticoy, a professor of archeology, discovers a fine Roman floor mosaic on one of the last days of an excavation in Turkey. When she returns the next day with an official from the Department of Antiquities, the mosaic has been removed and a student assistant is dead. Saticoy sets off for Switzerland in hopes that the mosaic will show up on the black market. Meanwhile, her co-excavator, Andrew Chatham, is delayed in Bulgaria, hoping to acquire a newly discovered cache of Thracian gold jewelry. Although Tamar and Chatham are colleagues, they hardly interact, making their stories appear unrelated. Baron (The Torch of Tangiers) does bring them together in the final chapters, but by then, readers may have lost interest. On the plus side, Baron supplies plentiful information about the archeology of ancient Rome. (July) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
