When the alluring, eleventh-century Cambodian stone head of Radha,
consort to Krishna, shows up at the Searles Museum, young curator
Jenna Murphy doesn’t suspect that it will lead her to a murder.
Asian art is her bailiwick, not criminal investigation, and her
immediate concern is simply figuring out whether the head is one
famously stolen from its body, or a fake. When a second
decapitation happens—this time of an art collector, not a
statue—Jenna finds herself drawn into a different kind of
mystery, and the stakes are life or death. It turns out that the
same talents for research and for unraveling puzzles—the bread
and butter of an art historian—have perfectly equipped her to
solve crimes. She’s certain the sculpture provides clues to help
her solve the case, which takes her to Thailand and Cambodia. But
the collectors, dealers, and con artists of the Bangkok art world
only compound her questions. A Head in Cambodia is the fiction
debut of noted Asian art expert Nancy Tingley. Readers will delight
in the rarified world of collecting, as well as getting to know
Jenna, an intrepid and shrewd observer who will easily find her
place among V.I. Warshawski, Kinsey Milhone, and other great female
sleuths.
