Another of his archaeology thriller books with Sean Wyatt, his wife Adrianna and best friendsTommy Schulz. #22 of 23
A FORGOTTEN PAST, A NEW DANGER
Sean Wyatt of the International Archaeological Agency receives a desperate message from an old friend. It's a riddle from a five hundred year old text, a riddle only Sean and his team can solve.

Sean, his wife Adriana Villa, and best friend Tommy Schultz (the IAA Founder), the team travel to Istanbul, site of a grand theft at an auction in the affluent neighborhood of Besitkas. There, they uncover a mystery they never saw coming, and the rabbit hole opens wide.

I have been diving into this series for quite a while and still find them fresh and intriguing. Do start from the beginning though, with The Secret of the Stones.

Since I worked the election Saturday, I had to take an actual book because we can't use our electronic reading devices. I picked up a Tess Gerritsen Rizzoli and Isles book: The Keepsake. I think it I am going to like it; however the print is quite fine. Kindles have spoiled me what with adjustable fonts and all.

For untold years, the perfectly preserved mummy had lain forgotten in the dusty basement of Boston’s Crispin Museum. Dubbed “Madam X,” the recently rediscovered mummy is, to all appearances, an ancient Egyptian artifact. But medical examiner Maura Isles discovers a macabre message hidden within the corpse–horrifying proof that this “centuries-old” relic is instead a modern-day murder victim. When the grisly remains of two other women are found, it becomes clear to Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli that a maniac is at large. Now Maura and Jane must unravel a murderer’s twisted endgame before the Archaeology Killer adds another chilling artifact to his monstrous collection.
