A Treasure to Bury: A twisting tale of murder, revenge and justice!

APRIL 2003. As war breaks out in Iraq, Baghdad's National Museum is looted. Mercenaries 'liberate' a priceless collection of artifacts. Nearly 4500 years old, they must be recovered before they fall into the hands of a mysterious global order. Too controversial for public display, these ancient treasures have been languishing in the museum's vaults since their discovery near Mt Ararat in 1987.The young Sabina, Contessa di Volturara, and Canon Ralph Barford battle to recover her family inheritance. She is betrayed by a close Russian confidante and opposed by a US Senator in league with a British 'General'. Sabina endures shipwreck and attempts on her life while facing the loss of all she values. As the action switches from the Greek islands to Tuscany, Avignon to Bordeaux, London to Paris, Connecticut and New York, Ralph Barford is reluctantly drawn in on all sides, struggling with his wife's cancer, attacks on his family and his growing feelings for Sabina. He helps Sabina unravel the mystery of her parents' death and to recover a private copy of the treasure. The two are reunited with the fabulous jewelry - only to lose sight of it again when Ralph's wife is kidnapped.One last daring attempt is made to secure the treasure, bringing victory for some but permanent exile for others.
