Reach of the Past

Archaeologist Martin Day has always hated the illegal trade in Greek antiquities, and now he has a chance to make a difference. By working for Chief Inspector Andreas Nomikos on a case of suspected trafficking, he will not only be well paid to give lectures at the beautiful Villa Myrsini; he will also be distracted from the problems in his personal life.
