Last Breath — Mariah Stewart

As renowned archaeologist Dr. Daria McGowan readies the most important project of her career--a university museum exhibit showcasing the priceless artifacts her great-grandfather unearthed a century earlier in the Middle East--she makes a shocking discovery: many of the most significant pieces have vanished. Panicked, Daria turns to the FBI.

Agent Connor Shields is more than happy to take the case: he's been unable to get Dania out of his mind since their paths first crossed two years ago. Working together, Daria and Connor discover a trail of bodies--collectors who have met brutal, bizarre ends at the hands of a killer whose murderous methods are based on the rituals of an ancient civilization. While Daria and Connor race to unravel a mystery that stretches across oceans and centuries, an ingenious murderer follows a sinister plan to gather the coveted antiquities and one last acquisition--Daria.
