Mystery Historical
In 1925 the international treasure-hunting scene is a man’s
world, and no one understands this better than Irene Blum,
who is passed over for a coveted museum curatorship because
she is a woman. Seeking to restore her reputation, she sets
off from Seattle in search of a temple believed to house the
lost history of Cambodia’s ancient Khmer civilization. But
her quest to make the greatest archaeological discovery of
the century soon becomes a quest for her family’s secrets. Embracing the colorful and corrupt world of colonial Asia in
the early 1900s, The Map of Lost Memories takes readers into
a forgotten era where nothing is as it seems. As Irene
travels through Shanghai's lawless back streets and Saigon’s
opium-filled lanes, she joins forces with a Communist temple
robber and an intriguing nightclub owner with a complicated
past. What they bring to light deep within the
humidity-soaked Cambodian jungle does more than change
history. It ultimately solves the mysteries of their own lives.
