Central America at the turn of the twentieth century is a land of treasure hunters, banana barons, mercenaries and revolutionaries. Into this volatile mix arrives headstrong Miss Cyrilia Hathaway. Determined to lead an archaeological expedition to the remote Mayan ruins of Copan, Lia Hathaway must navigate a country torn by revolution to reach the ruined city and decipher the secret her grandfather discovered there forty years earlier. But Lia is not the only one hunting her grandfather's secret and she soon finds her expedition threatened by a shadowy adversary and aided by a most unlikely ally.
A richly imagined novel of archaeology and adventure, Skaar takes the reader along on a journey from the back alleys of Belize Town through the lush islands of the Caribbean and into the verdant twilight of the Honduran jungle. Its memorable heroine and richly drawn cast of characters make Skaar a delightful discovery for lovers of mystery, travel and adventure.
