Dark Athena Arthur Houghton

The sudden and mysterious appearance of an ancient statue provokes disturbing questions by the curator of a West Coast museum. What is its origin? Was it really in the family of an English lord, or is there a darker history behind it? Jason Connor is no stranger to the craft of intelligence. The leads he develops take him to Sicily, then into an Italian prison and the private quarters of a London dealer. Soon he uncovers a deep conspiracy that extends closer to home than he could have imagined and leads to a deadly pursuit by killers sent to silence him. Dark Athena is an archaeological thriller, with surprises at every turn and an unexpected twist at the end.
