### Review
"Gripping. Fascinating. Entrancing. The Vesuvius Isotope is 2013's Top Thriller!" -Carolyn Hart, author of Escape from Paris
### From the Author
The Vesuvius Isotope is at its core a murder mystery. The inexplicable death of Nobel laureate chemist Jeffrey Wilson sends his wife, biologist Katrina Stone, on the quest of a lifetime. But layered within the fictional story are several non-fictional questions and historical mysteries that remain unsolved to this day. As she races to solve her husband's murder and prevent impending disaster, Katrina is led from Cleopatra VII to the modern-day underworld of southern Italy, from the ruins beneath the ash of Mount Vesuvius to the tombs beneath the sand of ancient Thebes. I invite the reader to join me on this journey.
