Bound for Eternity

Disappearing artifacts, jealous colleagues, and dead bodies-who says a museum curator's job is easy?Archaeologist and curator Lisa Donahue transports an Egyptian mummy to a Boston hospital for an X-ray. That evening, when she returns the artifact to her museum, Lisa discovers the bloodied body of a colleague in the mummy's vacated case. The two-thousand-year-old mummy contains an enigmatic clue that will help Lisa solve the murder and keep her job. But she must move fast-before someone turns her into a permanent exhibit."Wisseman does a great job of combining 'archaeology for dummies, ' 'museum management for dummies, ' and a great plot with lots of action and interesting characters to make her first Lisa Donahue mystery provocative, page-turning entertainment. It is always fun to read about mummies, and Wisseman corrects some of the folklore regarding archaeology and mummies. BOUND FOR ETERNITY is crisp and seductive."Midwest Book Revi
