        Historian, or "treasure hunter," Jaya Jones returns in her third adventure (after Pirate Vishnu) but this time she's running from the law after an art heist at the Louvre goes awry. Trying to clear her name in France, Jaya turns to clues from a strange illuminated manuscript, which takes her from the Parisian streets to the titular quicksand of Mont Saint-Michel.

        January 26, 2015
        In Pandian’s lively and humorous third Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery (after 2014’s Private Vishnu), a letter and plane ticket purportedly from former art thief Lane Peters sends San Francisco history professor Jaya to Paris. There, one of Lane’s former associates forces him into a plot to rob the Louvre; Jaya must reluctantly insist on participating. When Jaya realizes the significance of the artifact to be stolen—a page from an illuminated manuscript—she and Lane determine to thwart the others involved in the theft. A coded message from Sanjay, Jaya’s magician friend back in San Francisco, helps her locate Sébastien: a remarkably energetic 90-year-old with a brilliant mind, a houseful of amazing automatons, and a set of invaluable skills to help them in their quest. Charming characters, a hint of romantic conflict, and just the right amount of danger will garner more fans for this cozy series. Agent: Marsal Lyon Literary Agency.
