The Vesuvian Mistress

Lienna West wants Blair Crowley to help her determine whether there are precious artifacts lying on the bed of the Bay of Naples off the site of Herculaneum. Blair Crowley wants to learn more about the beautiful and exotic archaeologist. Lienna has another reason for exploring the city destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius almost two thousand years before. Her grandfather, who bought his family's safety in World War II by offering artifacts to the local Nazi commander, disappeared in 1944 with the reputation of being a collaborator. Lienna needs to know what happened to him. But there are others looking for Marco Aurchelio's treasure trove, and they aren't fussy who they have to kill to get it. Before the truth is discovered, history--Blair's and Lienna's--will come back to place them in danger.
