Publisher's Synopsis
In a land of buried wonders, murder is no myth... Laetitia Talbot has been raised to believe there is no field in which she may not excel. She has chosen a career in the male-dominated world of archaeology, and she approaches her first assignment in Crete the only way she knows how - with dash and enthusiasm. But at Villa Europa, something is clearly amiss... Her host, a charismatic archaeologist, is racing to dig up the fabled island's next great treasure - the tomb of the King of the Gods. But when a beautiful young woman is found hanged and a golden youth drives his Bugatti over a cliff, whispers of past loves, past jealousies and ancient myths sound an eerie discord with present events...
