The Antiquity Affair

Two estranged sisters must band together to solve a puzzle three millennia in the making in this female-heroine take on Indiana Jones. 1907: The dawn of Egyptology is a time of imperialism and plunder, opulence and unrest, and Dr. Warren Ford, esteemed archaeologist, is the man of the hour. His daughters--prim intellectual Lila, on the eve of her debut as a Manhattan socialite, and doting nonconformist Tess, who dreams of following in his footsteps--have always lived their lives in the shadow of their famous father's exploits. But when a secretive organization becomes intent on finding a lost artifact legendary for its dangerous power, it isn't Dr. Ford they turn their sights on--it's his two remarkable daughters. Tess and Lila called themselves The Fearless Fords in their childhood, dreaming of daring international adventures together, but the sisters have barely spoken for years. Presented now with a grand adventure and a puzzle that will require all their wits, the two women face a choice. Will they follow the clues fast enough to win the ultimate prize? Or will they prove clever enough to change the game entirely? The Antiquity Affair is a high stakes trans-Atlantic thrill ride, with the page-turning excitement and romance of classic adventure novels and a poignant story of sisterhood at its core--all the messy and beautiful truths of what it means to be family. An exciting turn of the century adventure Perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn, Laurie King, Clive Cussler, and Indiana Jones Includes discussion questions for book clubs
