Echoes In The Mist Karen Batshaw

On a fateful night, an infinite echo from another time whispers to two strangers in this tale of sensual passion, love, and intrigue. American Julia Henderson arrives in Greece, eager to join the excavation of the Acropolis. Although female archeologists are practically unheard of in 1878, her father had encouraged her passion for it. But his death on the voyage may have changed everything for Julia. Wealthy merchant Stephano Stephanopolous waits on shore, determined to intercept a courier before his information falls into enemy hands. Unbeknownst to Julia, her father was involved with the Turks. Now the information he was carrying places Julia's life at risk as she becomes entangled in a web of espionage and deceit. Echoes in the Mist will transport you to the enchanted splendor of Greece, where dangerous intrigue, superstition and passion, blackmail and betrayal, and archeological forgery come together in an exciting, fast paced romantic thriller.

The year 1878 finds Greece swarming with Western archaeologists who are excavating the treasures of ancient times and shipping them out of the country amid regional upheaval and political intrigue.
