Deborah Miller’s worst days tend to involve little more than negotiating the petty politics surrounding the small Atlanta museum she runs, until she discovers the body of her friend and mentor and–almost as shocking–a secret room stocked with priceless artifacts from ancient Greece.
One of those artifacts–a five thousand year old gold death mask–is missing. Convinced that finding it will unravel the mystery of her mentor’s death, and equally convinced that the investigating authorities cannot be trusted, Deborah flies to Greece, pursuing a trail which intertwines some of the most famous excavations of the ancient world with the fall of Berlin in 1945.
Forging cautious alliances, and relying on her wit and sense of history, Deborah moves from one lethal predicament to another pursuing clues, increasingly convinced that the secret behind the mask is far darker and more dangerous than she had ever suspected.
The Mask of Atreus, which was published by Berkley (Penguin) in the USA and by numerous other publishers worldwide in 2006, is both a thoughtful mystery and a fast moving thriller full of adventure and deception.
