Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Pandian's rollicking fourth Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt mystery (after 2015's Quicksand) takes the quick-witted historian from her home in San Francisco, along with her brother, Mahilan, and his brand-new girlfriend, Ava, to a romantic villa near the Italian village of Bomarzo in the hills of Viterbo. The town, famous for its sculpture garden known as the Park of Monsters, is where Jaya believes a 16th-century artist had a secret studio. Life for Jaya has to be more exciting than just poring through ancient libraries and dining on artichokes and Rosato wine. During her investigations, she is also juggling the two men in her life-magician Sanjay and the dashing and mysterious Lane. This book has everything a mystery lover could ask for: ghostly presences, Italian aristocrats, jewel thieves, failed actors, sitar players, and magic tricks, not to mention dabs of authentic history and academic skullduggery.
