The Gold Of Thrace by Aileen Baron
THE GOLD OF THRACE is a tale of danger and deceit in the antiquities trade.
When the first member of the staff of her Turkish excavation is murdered and a mosaic floor disappears overnight from her site, archaeologist Tamar Saticoy plunges into the shady world of the antiquities trade in the quest to discover who is responsible for the theft of artifacts from archaeological sites.
Tamar traces the mosaic floor to 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 to be. Two more members of her excavation staff are killed, the venal Chatham who has discovered a hoard of Thracian gold in Bulgaria , and Orman who, like Tamar, is following the trail of the stolen mosaic and Tamar herself becomes the next target for murder.
Aileen Baron has a Ph.D. in archaeology. Her career includes twenty years teaching archaeology at California State University, Fullerton and numerous seasons of archaeological fieldwork in the Middle East.
Her mysteries in the Lily Sampson series, A FLY HAS A HUNDRED EYES, and THE TORCH OF TANGIER, feature an American archaeologist working in the Middle East during World War II.
Her latest mystery, THE GOLD OF THRACE due in July, 2007, a stand-alone, published by Poisoned Pen Press, is a tale of danger and deceit in the antiquities trade.
