The Mask of Atreus

A secret room in an obscure Atlanta museum has become the final resting place for its proprietor, whose dead body lies surrounded by an astonishing collection of Ancient Greek antiquities previously unknown to the archaeological world. But something is missing. Something large and shrouded in legend.

Now Deborah Miller, the museum’s curator, has to venture into a terrifying web of murder and intrigue as she attempts to expose the killers of her friend and mentor. To do so she must learn the strange and terrible truth about the tangled history of an ancient artifact that might yet unleash devastation on the world.

“This is exactly the kind of archaeological thriller I love--from its gripping opening on a battlefield in the waning days of World War II to its roaring finish. MASK OF ATREUS is rich and dramatic -- a compelling novel that will grip you in its swift, dark currents and sweep you over the falls… An outstanding novel.”
Douglas Preston

"THE MASK OF ATREUS is the perfect debut--a high octane thriller crammed full of long buried secrets, treacherous betrayals, jaw-dropping twists, and a healthy dash of romance. Deborah Miller is an engaging, sympathetic heroine, who you can't help but root for. Move over Michael Crichton---A.J. Hartley is right at your heels."
J.A. Konrath
