Praise for The Gold of Thrace... "The dubious art and antiquities underground is brought to life by professional archaeologist Baron." -Booklist When a member of the staff at a Turkish excavation is murdered and a mosaic floor disappears from her site overnight, archaeologist Tamar Saticoy plunges into the shady side of the antiquities trade in a quest to discover who is responsible for the theft. Tamar traces the mosaic floor to Basel, Switzerland, where the prince of antiquities dealers, Gilberto Dela Barcolo, and his enigmatic friend, Enzio Egidio, are active. Are the two men harmless charmers-or villains? Then two more members of the excavation staff are killed: Tamar's venal British colleague Chatham, who has discovered a hoard of Thracian gold in Bulgaria, and the Turk Orman who-like Tamar-is following the trail of the stolen mosaic. Unless she can crack this case, Tamar may become the next target for murder.... Aileen G. Baron has a Ph.D. in archaeology and taught for 20 years at California State University, Fullerton. Her first novel, A Fly Has a Hundred Eyes, won first place in the mystery category at both the Pikes Peak Writers conference and the SouthWest Writers Conference. www.aileengbaron.com
