The Arab Fall (A James Acton Thriller, book #6) (James Acton Thrillers)
“Robert Kennedy Nubian Desert, Egypt, University College London Dig Site Two Days Before the Liberty Island Attack Acton held his hands up, mentally guiding the rope that held his most precious treasure, Laura. The rope swung slightly from side to side, but not too badly and in just another foot or so, he’d be able to touch her boot to steady her.
“Almost there,” he called, his voice reassuring, the cavern now well lit, several powerful LED lanterns passed down via bucket before Laura insi...sted she be lowered. He had objected, silently, but realized this was her dig site, and most other weeks he wouldn’t have been here to object regardless of how he felt.
This was their job, to dangle from ropes, climb into caves, brave spiders and snakes, outsmart ancient booby traps, and battle boredom, the most common enemy of a dig going badly. But he couldn’t recall a dig where he had been bored. Pick your site well, do your research, then follow the grid pattern, reevaluating as you go along.MoreLess
