The Phoenician Falcon (A Chyna Stone Adventure #3)
Once a tool of treachery between two Scandinavian brothers, an ancient Viking relic now has the attention of an international smuggling ring—and Chyna and her Found History archaeological team need to figure out exactly what it is and where it came from before they are caught in a web of espionage.
When Chyna and the team arrive in Syria, they have no way of knowing that a straightforward assignment to catalog and exhibit Phoenician artifacts fresh out of the ground near Hamah, would turn into a deadly spy game. But one piece among the relics puzzles Chyna: a magnificent golden falcon with its wings spread wide and its legs ready for flight looks to her like something she would find in Scandinavia, not the Middle East. Caught between the stirrings of civil unrest and an attempted terrorist attack, it doesn’t take long for her to realize that there is much more to the mysterious statue than meets the eye.

A kidnapping, priceless relics, and the search of a lifetime...just another day for Chyna Stone and her Found History Team.
With a string of lucrative assignments coming in from the Hagia Sofia Museum, Chyna Stone and her Found History are keeping busy.

Indeed, Chyna soon discovers that an illegal deal to sell Babylonian relics—a deal that had been disrupted by the Persian Gulf War—has apparently been reinstated.

The Rosary Riddle (A Chyna Stone Adventure #7)
Religious visions. An artifact. A desperate quest.
A rosary, once passed from Queen Isabella of Spain to King Charles, disappeared long ago. While Queen Isabella possessed it, she claimed to receive spiritual visions from the Virgin Mary—visions which may have begun the Inquisition.
Chyna Stone and her remaining Found History team partners go on a quest for Queen Isabella’s rosary. While it’s believed to possess great spiritual power, legend has it that anyone outside her bloodline who touches her rosary will go mad.
Even though she’s worried that her former boyfriend, Tony—and the Illuminati Reborn—might be planning something against them, when Chyna and the Found History team hear reports of a growing disturbance that mimics the legend, they fly to Cordoba to seek the Rosary of Isabella. The team hotly pursues the trail of those who seem to have fallen victim to its reputed delusions.
They meet a journalist, Tacho Villanueva, who tells them he is also investigating religious visions, hallucinations, and the growing madness in the streets. The Found History team joins Tacho and they discover three bodies—and the police want explanations.
The rosary hasn’t been seen since the time of King Charles. But Chyna is in a hurry to recover it from its current possessors before it’s too late—there’s a good chance that whoever possesses it will end up not only mad, but dead, too.
As the team gets closer to recovering it, Chyna Stone proves she’s no ordinary archaeologist—she’s an intrepid adventurer, too—but will she also succumb to madness while seeking the Rosary of Isabella?
