Summer of the Dragon by Elizabeth Peters

4.0

D. J. Abbott left her summer plans until the last minute. So when an all-expenses paid opportunity to stretch her anthropologic wings. It turns out the job is for the fabulously wealthy Hank Hunnicutt. Unfortunately, Hank is also known for his... eccentricities. When D. J. arrives at his southwestern mansion, it's filled to the rafters with hangers-on who are telling him about past lives and Atlantis and every other crackpot theory that's out there. So when Hank tells D. J. she's going to be helping him hunt for dragons... she's more than a little skeptical. But then the supposed attempts on Hank's life are ramped up and he disappears.
Will D. J. make it to the end of the story alive?
A fantastic story from Elizabeth Peters. Other than technology, the story holds up fairly well.
