Asian art is her bailiwick, not criminal investigation, and her immediate concern is simply figuring out whether the head is one famously stolen from its body, or a fake. When a second decapitation happens--this time of an art collector, not a statue--Jenna finds herself drawn into a different kind of mystery, and the stakes are life or death. It turns out that the same talents for research and for unraveling puzzles--the bread and butter of an art historian--have perfectly equipped her to solve crimes. She's certain the sculpture provides clues to help her solve the case, which takes her to Thailand and Cambodia. But the collectors, dealers, and con artists of the Bangkok art world only compound her questions. A Head in Cambodia is the fiction debut of noted Asian art expert Nancy Tingley. Readers will delight in the rarified world of collecting, as well as getting to know Jenna, an intrepid and shrewd observer who will easily find her place among V.I. Warshawski, Kinsey Milhone, and other great female sleuths"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women detectives $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Museum curators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art $x Collectors and collecting $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art, Southeast Asian $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170613010459.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2865A724FFD11E78A662EE1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
