<DIV>Mayan ruins in the Yucat&aacute;n . . . a secret room in a tomb . . . age?old skeletons. To anthropologist Gideon Oliver, the renowned Skeleton Detective, the invitation to join the archaeological excavation of Tlaloc promises two months of paradise on Earth.<BR /><BR /> That is, until an ancient series of Mayan curses against desecrators of the site is unearthed. When the first one comes to pass (&ldquo;The bloodsucking kinkajou will come freely among them&rdquo;), it is taken by all as a practical joke. But by the time the fourth one is apparently consummated (&ldquo;The one called Xecotcavach will pierce their skulls so that their brains spill onto the earth&rdquo;), nerves have begun to fray and suspicions and discord are mounting.<BR /><BR /> The steamy jungles weigh down on the band of eccentric anthropologists as one by one the curses continue to materialize. It takes Gideon&rsquo;s special talents for deduction&mdash;along with the enigmatic insights of Mexico&rsquo;s one and only Mayan Indian inspector of the state judicial police&mdash;to resolve an ancient riddle and a modern, murderous mystery.<BR /><BR /> Curses! <I>is the 5th book in the Gideon Oliver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. </I><BR /> &#160;</DIV>
