An archaeologist’s estranged daughters. 1907: The dawn of
Egyptology is a time of imperialism and plunder, opulence and
unrest, and Dr. Warren Ford, esteemed archaeologist, is the man of
the hour. His daughters—intellectual Lila, on the eve of her
debut as a Manhattan socialite, and nonconformist Tess, who dreams
of following in his footsteps—have always lived in his shadow,
and their lives couldn’t feel more different. But when a
secretive organization seeks to find a lost relic legendary for its
dangerous power, it isn’t Dr. Ford they turn to—it’s his two
remarkable daughters. A legendary artifact known as the Serpent’s
Crown. Rumored to reside in the mysterious Tomb of the Five Ladies,
the Serpent’s Crown will only be found by solving a seemingly
impossible riddle that will open the tomb—and the organization
believes that one of the Ford daughters holds the key to
deciphering the code. What was supposed to be an elegant debutante
ball for elder sister Lila quickly turns sinister when Tess is
kidnapped and put on a ship across the Atlantic. When Lila and her
father realize that Tess’s life is in danger, they must act
quickly to track her down and stop the Serpent’s Crown from
falling into the wrong hands. A puzzle three millennia in the
making. A race for the Crown begins, with Lila and her father in
hot pursuit of the organization and Tess. With lives at stake, the
fractured family must keep their wits about them, find the
artifact, and escape the ruthless men who are also determined to
possess the Crown and use it to their own advantage—no matter the
cost. In this women-centered nod to the beloved Indiana Jones
stories, The Antiquity Affair is a high-stakes, trans-Atlantic
thrill ride, with the page-turning excitement and romance of
classic adventure novels and a poignant story of sisterhood at its
core. An exciting turn-of-the-century adventure Stand-alone novel
Book length: 100,000 words Perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn,

Talent management is a way banks acquire competitive advantage.
Practices such as personality profiling with effective
knowledge-based productivity and the application of
high-performance work systems help to set a company apart from its
competition and maintain this competitive advantage. This book
provides an in-depth look at the relationship between personality
types and individual-level performance in knowledge-based
environments, through cases in Australia's banking and finance
sector. This book also examines how high-performance workplace
systems influence individual performance in relation to
productivity through a multi-level analysis of micro- and
meso-level factors. The findings in this book have relevant
implications not only for the Australian system but also for other
banking and financial service contexts outside of Australia.
