SOMA

the long version

"An unsuspecting archeologist, Dr. John Monsieur, becomes the object of ruthless collectors who believe he has a golden sandal from the burial of Alexander the Great and the clue that leads to his lost tomb. He is plunged unwillingly into the sordid and clandestine world of international antiquities smuggling, where he quickly discovers murder, a web of intrigue, and finds himself the target when he discovers too much."--Back cover.
