The Mask of Troy - David Gibbins (2010)
I haven't read any of David Gibbins other books, but that didn't make this 5th in a series book difficult to read.
As in most adventure thriller books it tells three stories at once. Jack Howard a present day Marine archeologist, discovers a shipwrecked war galley in the Aegean sea.
Back in 1946, Heinrich Schiliemann finds the golden mask of Agamennon, in Mycenae Greece. Then in 1945, a special team discovers hidden chambers as they seach for clues to lost antiquities, hidden by the Nazis in Concentration camp.
I enjoyed the back and forth of the story, and it held my attention to the end, when usually so many of these stories get muddled and stupid. 3/5
