The Etruscan Connection
The Etruscan Connection | Dick Rosano
1 post | 1 read
After a distinguished scientist dies under suspicious circumstances at an archaeological dig in Tuscany, Darren Priest and Alana Weber are called in to investigate. They discover that the now-deceased scientist's work was focused on Italy's earliest history, and the possible connection to the mysterious Etruscan people. Ancient coins found at the site point to the Lydian Kingdom of Turkey, but also to nefarious activities, the Curse of Croesus, and the possibility that the origins of Roman Empire would have to be called to question. Soon, the two realize that the findings at the site could threaten the very fabric of modern-day humanity. As a Pandora's box of secrets, foreign intrigue and revenge opens, can Priest and Weber find out what happened at the dig?

While Darren and Alana are on holiday in Italy they get a call from Aggie, whose girlfriend is working on a dig where the archaeologist in charge has been found dead in a trench. Did he fall or was he pushed?

The author obviously has not done his homework about pre-Roman Italy. A relationship between Etruscan and Turkish is a stretch, to put it mildly, and what are wild turkeys doing in Italy some 2000 years before Columbus?
