Summary:Lara McClintoch is obsessed with finding rare and beautiful artifacts. Her travels take her to the ends of the earth, where history jealously guards its treasures and where the mysteries of the past meet the dangers of the present. Lara flies to Malta to personally furnish the home of Torontos Martin Galea, whose reputation as an architect is rivaled only by his reputation as a womanizer. But when he turns up dead, Lara soon finds out that her client and his new home share a troubled past, a past that stretches back to the ancient world, and reaches out with the insidious hand of modern intrigue.
