Texas. It's the biggest state in the continental United States. Sun worshipers, college students at Spring Break, smugglers and hurricanes visit its coastline. This hurricane found Virginia Davies at a beachfront resort on St. John's Island securing archaeological artifacts and treasures worth millions that had been hijacked. With the hurricane raging around her, she and a long time friend, Donna Boletti, encounter Virginia's murdered partner, and some killers trying to steal an old crystal skull. After she and Donna eliminate the threat of the killers and the hurricane ebbs, they head for New Orleans to trace down the people behind the murders. Virginia and Donna are pulled into the world of Voodoo and find other groups wanting the crystal skull and her dead. She and Donna keep searching for clues while the body count keeps going up around them. She learns the people behind the murders are headquartered in Rome. In Rome, she manages to get inside the world of a dangerous art and fake antiques business and an unusual laboratory for the manufacture of undetectable fake art and antiques that could mean her death. Virginia entangles the reader in a rapid-fire adventure involving the worlds of murder, voodoo, and antique fraud and the sights and sounds of Texas, New Orleans and Rome up to the high stakes end on the Mediterranean Sea.

Seller's Description:
Fine. No spine crease. Inscribed and SIGNED by the AUTHOR. 287 pages. Signed by Author. A crystal skull with a deadly secret leads two women on an adventure across two continents. Virginia Davies-Clark is on special assignment for the Smithsonian, helping to secure archaeological artifacts confiscated from smugglers-treasures worth millions. Since she's prone to dangerous situations, it's no surprise when Texas is hit by a raging hurricane and she's trapped on St. John's Island. What does surprise Virginia is running into her long time friend Donna Boletti. As the women prepare to ride out the storm at the beach front resort, they stumble on Virginia's murdered partner-and a mysterious crystal skull. It doesn't take long for the killers to come after them but Donna and Virginia turn the tables and get information about the skull. After the storm passes they escape the island, then go up against a strange cast of characters as they're pulled into the world of Voodoo in New Orleans. The body count climbs as everyone fights to get their hands on the treasure. When Virginia and Donna learn the people behind the murders are headquartered in Rome, their quest continues, in Italy. The women must infiltrate a fake antiques business, and deal with a lecherous porn producer in his mansion overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Will they expose the secret of the crystal skull without having to star in one of his art films?
