William Wodhams: Thirty Feet Under, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

For readers of Dan Brown comes a thrilling tale of lost kings, mad emperors, international smugglers, and an FBI Art Crimes Team that will stop at nothing to track down a stolen marble sphinx.

When a museum in Italy is robbed and the guard murdered, the Carabinieri Art Squad ask for Kate Taylor's help searching for the thieves. After working in the FBI Art Crimes Team for years, doing little but updating files and computer work, she is thrilled to work on a real case.

Yet there's something unusual about their request. It's a small, unremarkable marble sphinx that was stolen --- why would the Carabinieri care? Still, she's looking forward to some excitement and adventure. Besides, Luca, the Carabinieri's agent, has big, beautiful eyes.

Kate finds out the sphinx is the key to unraveling one of the greatest mysteries in archeology: the lost tomb of a legendary king. Before long, she's searching for suspects in an international smuggling ring. People are dying. She doesn't know who she can trust, including Luca. And time is running out: Kate has two weeks to solve a 3, 000-year-old mystery before its treasures are looted and vanish forever.

Back in New York, Paul Klugman is about to give up his dream of becoming an art dealer. Then he gets a call from an eccentric art dealer that will change his life forever. He soon finds the success and wealth he's always wanted, but the price is higher than he ever expected.

Thirty Feet Under is a tale of lost kings, mad emperors, international smugglers, and the search for the perfect Manhattan.
