Description
"A riveting story of tomb robbers and antiquities smugglers, high-stakes auctioneers and the princely chiefs of the worlds most prestigious museums....A terrific read, from start to finish."-James L. Swanson, New York Times bestselling author of Manhunt An Oxford-trained archaeologist and award-winning journalist based in Rome, Vernon Silver brings us The Lost Chalice, the electrifying true story of the race to secure a priceless, 2,500-year-old cup depicting the fall of Troy-a lost treasure crafted by Euphronios, an artist widely considered "the Leonardo Da Vinci of ancient Greece." A gripping, real life mystery, The Lost Chalice gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of great museums and antiquities collections-exposing a world of greed, backstabbing, and double-dealing.
