AUTHOR'S BIO:

Sarah Wisseman writes the Lisa Donahue archaeological mysteries. She hadn’t a clue that she wanted to be an archaeologist until she traveled to Israel right after her freshman year in college. There she ate falafel, fell in love with Jerusalem, camped illegally on Masada, and spent a month at the excavation of biblical Beersheba. Once hooked by archaeology, she returned for her junior year at Tel Aviv University, an experience that eventually inspired The Dead Sea Codex.

In her day job, Sarah is an archaeological scientist at the University of Illinois. Her research project on Egyptian mummies led to the Lisa Donahue mystery, Bound for Eternity.  Her fourth book, The House of the Sphinx, is set in Egypt.

REVIEWS/QUOTES:

I've enjoyed following Lisa as she solves the mystery of Victor's death and as she discovers the identity of the museum thief. The Fall of Augustus turned out to be a real page turner that I very much enjoyed.
And oh yeah, did I mention that Lisa is also faced with determining who has been taking bodies and attempting to turn them into mummies?  --Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat

"I’ve always thought of a museum as a quiet place to while away the time, but that’s not the case when Sarah Wisseman shows us what can happen behind the scenes. Her character, Lisa Donahue has a distinctively difficult challenge ahead of her to keep her position at the museum. Some of the display pieces go missing, and newly discovered mummies haven’t been procured from Egypt. The Fall of Augustus will definitely keep you guessing who the culprit might be, right down to the last chapter. " --Jo Ellen Conger, Conger Book Reviews 


"Sarah Wisseman has written a clever, erudite museum murder mystery..."  --Bill Grescens,  Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse
