Synopsis

Spanish journalist and art historian Jaime Azcárate has always been a magnet for trouble. So when the authorities call on him to help investigate a museum heist while he’s enjoying a rare vacation, he is more annoyed than surprised. Jaime brushes off the detectives’ pleas to find a missing and reportedly cursed Medusa sculpture, until an attempt on his life pulls him into the investigation.With nowhere else to turn, Jaime reaches out to the only person in the world who can help: Paloma Blasco, the ex-girlfriend with whom he authored an article on the priceless statue. The pair must put their differences aside as they travel from Greece to Sardinia to find the Medusa—before the curse claims another victim.

This was a really good book. It started a little slow, but hang in there. It is well worth the read. It is the third book in the series and you can tell that there is a back story that the reader is missing. It does detract a little from the enjoyment, but not enough to take away from the 5 star rat......more

Goodreads review by Israel on February 10, 2015

Tremendamente adictivo y el guión perfecto para una grandísima película literaria de aventuras. La mirada de Piedra consolida a un personaje, Jaime Azcárate, que presume con razón de ser el Indiana Jones Español. Humor, acción, suspense, amor y, por supuesto, muchas aventuras en una lectura muy reco......more

An art history mystery—rhyme!—taking place throughout Spain and Italy, this story delves into the provenance and magical powers of a statue of the Greek myth of Medusa, and how some people will do anything to possess it.
