A legend to Kill for. A coveted invitation to a highbrow conference at Oxford is way up there on medieval history Dotsy Lamb's bucket list. With scholars from 3 continents and an honest-to-goodness ghost floating by during the welcoming dinner, the Lingering Effects of the King Arthur Tales on Life in Elizabethan England promises a lively symposium. Until one of the scheduled speakers is found dead. Glastonbury contrarian Bram Fitzwaring planned to produce a set of ancient bones to prove to the snooty, disbelieving history buffs that the owner of the legendary sword of Excalibur was no myth. But it isn't King Arthur's life that has Dotsy ferretting out clues--it's Fitzwaring's demise from a suspicious case of low blood sugar. Then someone close to her is shot, outraging Dotsy--while somewhere in the hushed, hallowed halls of Oxford, a killer patiently waits to turn her into the next antiquity.

George Gaskill, car salesman from Indiana, goes missing from the stern deck of the Aegean Queen leaving only a pool of blood and a strange note behind. Ollie Osgood, husband of Dotsy Lamb's best friend Lettie, is the last person to have seen him and one of three men who lost a bundle to George in a Texas Hold'em Poker game. Then the ship's photographer turns up murdered on the beautiful island of Mykonos. Dotsy wants only to unwind and to renew her promising relationship with Marco Quattrocchi, the Carabinieri captain she met in Italy three years ago, but since Ollie is the prime suspect in George's disappearance and Marco is embroiled in the photographer's murder, she can't. The Aegean Queen is a ship with a theme - archaeology. Dotsy strikes up a friendship with the ship's guest lecturer, famous archaeologist Dr. Luc Girard, and introduces him to the ship's klutziest dancer, Sophie Antonakos. With the help of Lettie Osgood's amazing powers of observation, Dotsy, Sophie and Luc discover antiquities in the ship's display cases that have been looted from museums or smuggled from their homelands. The trails of murder and theft converge on the island of Crete where Dotsy finds herself dodging bullets from the gun of a man she doesn't even know.  Maria Hudgins is a native of Tennessee and a long-time resident of Hampton, Virginia. Her first two books are Death of an Obnoxious Tourist and Death of a Lovable Geek.
