About this title

About the Author:

Lyn Hamilton was nominated for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Crime Novel for The Xibalba Murders; she is also the author of The Maltese Goddess

From Library Journal:

Toronto antiques dealer Lara McClintoch (The Xibalba Murders, Berkley, 1997) latches on to a box lot of Peruvian artifacts at auction purely to spite her ex-husband, also a dealer. The items are labeled as reproductions (albeit exquisite ones), but the interest they subsequently excite deeply disturbs her: during an apparent burglary and arson attempt at her shop, one "reproduction" goes missing and a body is left behind. To uncover the truth, McClintoch follows a paper trail back to Peru, where, through deceit and beguilement, she gets a job on a dig and foils the bad guys. A super story, entrancing prose, and fascinating subject matter make this a surefire winner.
