Wish to Die — Robert Walton

An archaeologist plunges into a hunt for the Amber Room -- the famed looted treasure from WWII-era Russia -- in this fast-paced international thriller.

The sunny Greek countryside and a beautiful woman might seem like the ingredients for a perfect vacation. But intrepid archaeologist Harry Thursday seems unable to have a good time if someone isn't trying to kill him. . . .

Fortunately, an international cold case dating back to World War II is warming up again. Back then, the Russian Amber Room and a hoard of diamonds worth 200 million dollars were stolen from Göring's Kunstschutz commander, Erich Koch.

Now, over thirty years later, Russian art historian Elina Kulinov is attempting to recover these items when Harry Thursday stumbles along -- and he joins her in a race against a Philadelphia museum and SMERSH. With everyone looking for the same items, who will get to them first? And who will be left empty-handed -- or dead?
