Thriller
The New York Times Sunday Magazine piece famously opened:
“She has pouting lips and high round breasts. Thousands of
men have dreamt of her. Hundreds have chased after her. Two
have died in pursuit. Her name is Sirena, she weighs 193
pounds, and she vanished in 1959. Without a trace.” Barrett College’s legendary Greco-Roman sculpture’s fate was
still a hot topic in 1970 when four roommates began their
freshman year at the New England school. They’ve gone their
separate ways for years. But as the 1994 commencement
approaches, they are about to reunite to meet a challenge
thrown down by a Class of ’59 hedge-fund billionaire. He has
pledged a $25 million endowment plus a $3 million purse to
her finder(s) if Sirena is restored to Barrett by June 17th,
the date of his 35th reunion, the college’s sesquicentennial
celebration—and our foursome’s 20th class reunion. Although they are not alone in their pursuit—groups of
alumni, including a pair of aggressive and highly-financed
classmates, are running down leads across the world—St.
Louis lawyer Lou Solomon and his crew come upon an obscure
but intriguing clue. It leads them to Chicago where a young
lawyer called Rachel Gold may hold key information. As the
men race to crack the Sirena puzzle, their quest will
transform their lives in unexpected ways.
