0425173089 Editorial Reviews n nFrom Library Journal nToronto antiques dealer Lara McClintoch (The Xibalba Murders, Berkley, 1997) latches on to a box lot of Peruvian artifacts at auction purely to spite her ex-husband, also a dealer. The items are labeled as reproductions (albeit exquisite ones), but the interest they subsequently excite deeply disturbs her: during an apparent burglary and arson attempt at her shop, one "reproduction" goes missing and a body is left behind. To uncover the truth, McClintoch follows a paper trail back to Peru, where, through deceit and beguilement, she gets a job on a dig and foils the bad guys. A super story, entrancing prose, and fascinating subject matter make this a surefire winner. nCopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. n nProduct Description nWhen Toronto antiques dealer Lara McClintoch finds herself in possession of authentic artifacts of the Moche--an ancient people whose civilization predates the Incas--she soon realizes that she is an unwitting link in a chain of blackmarket collectors. Now she must journey to Peru and do battle with an army of grave robbers as ruthless--and deadly--as the Moche warriors themselves... n n"Richly woven descriptions...fascinating and vividly presented... [an] artfully crafted plot... a passport to adventure"-- Booklist
