Achilles' Helmet

A Commissaire Pierre Rousseau thriller.

by

Graham Bishop

The private collector wants to obtain the helmet worn by Achilles at the siege of Troy three thousand years ago to add to his collection.  But then so does a rival collector. Two London dealers agree to find the helmet and recruit a team of Italian tomb robbers (tombaroli) to do the job.  Interpol wants to track down the collectors and stop the illegal trade in ancient artefacts. The rival collector plans to steal the helmet off the Italians if they are successful and smuggle it back to the UK.  But who has the real helmet and who has the decoy?  Did so many have to die during the sea chase amongst the Greek islands? How does the helmet end up in the Museum in Athens?
