Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Featuring Toronto antiques dealer Lara McClintoch, Lyn Hamilton's fascinating series immerses readers in the world's most exotic cultures. This time, the globetrotting Lara travels to Easter Island, where ancient mysteries spawn modern-day murder as the giant stone carvings known as the Moai draw a delegation of experts to the island-and a killer with vengeance on his mind. Review:"In Hamilton's well-told 10th archeological mystery (after 2004's The Magyar Venus), Toronto antiques dealer Lara McClintoch and her friend Moira Meller, while on vacation on Rapa Nui (better known as Easter Island), decide to register for the First Annual Rapa Nui Moai Congress, which they discover is being held at their hotel. Notable among the conference's participants — an eccentric lot of interested amateurs rather than serious scholars — is Jasper Robinson, an adventurer filming a documentary and putting forth his own theory about the Moai, the huge carved heads for which the isolated Pacific island is famous. Many are jealous of Robinson, but who would go so far as to murder the man? Vivid descriptions of the terrain, as well as details of the history and cultural evolution of Easter Island's people, enrich this chatty whodunit. While some of the action strains credulity, Hamilton makes effective use of flashbacks and puts a first-class twist on the traditional locked-room mystery. Agent, Bella Pomer. (Apr. 5)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:"At once erudite and entertaining, these jaunty whodunits tag along after Lara McClintock, a Toronto antiques dealer whose quest for ancient artifacts takes her everywhere from Africa to Ireland."--"New York Times."
Synopsis:Antiques dealer Lara McClintoch accompanies her best friend to Easter Island--now known as Rapa Nui--and the Moai, its giant stone carvings. Their awe is soon tempered by the fierce rivalries among a group of Rapa Nui experts at their hotel. When one ends up dead, Lara investigates. Original.
