About This Book

A scientific detective and his colleague investigate the theft of an ancient Peruvian dagger from a university museum, a case that unfolds into a broader treasure hunt tied to archaeological secrets and financial promoters. Their inquiry weaves forensic analysis, laboratory experiments, and technological contrivances—poison identification, X‑ray reading, interferometry and improvised tools—alongside reconnaissance, anonymous threats, and expeditionary leads. Episodes alternate investigative procedure, domestic mystery elements, and adventure as they trace clues through social intrigue, attempts at sabotage and search for a legendary hoard, balancing methodical detection with peril and revelation.
