{"product_id":"the-tomb-of-zeus-9780385339902","title":"The Tomb of Zeus","description":"With the same flawless storytelling that earned her the CWA Historical Dagger Award, Barbara Cleverly delivers a dazzling new novel. Sweeping us to the exotic island of Crete in 1928, Cleverly introduces a marvelous new heroine: whip-smart and spirited Laetitia Talbot, an aspiring archaeologist with a passion for adventure-and for the mysteries that only the keenest eyes can see. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn into a background of British privilege, 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, but she approaches her first assignment in Crete the only way she knows how-with dash and enthusiasm. Until she enters the Villa Europa, where something is clearly utterly amiss... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer host, a charismatic archaeologist, is racing to dig up the fabled island's next great treasure-even, perhaps, the tomb of the King of the Gods, himself. But then a beautiful young woman is found hanged and a golden youth drives his Bugatti over a cliff. From out of the shadows come whispers of past loves, past jealousies, and ancient myths that sound an eerie discord with present events. Letty will need all her determination and knowledge to unravel the secrets beneath the Villa Europa's roof-and they will lead her into the darkest, most terrifying place of all....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Cleverly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Delta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.28w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385339902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/06\/2007 pg. 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2007 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 88 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2007 pg. 1076\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2007 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarbara Cleverly is the author of five novels of historical suspense, including \u003cb\u003eThe Damascened Blade\u003c\/b\u003e, winner of the CWA Historical Dagger Award, \u003cb\u003eThe Last Kashmiri Rose, Ragtime in Simla, The Palace Tiger, \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eThe Bee's Kiss\u003c\/b\u003e.
