"Golden Chariot" by Chris Karlsen {Review & Giveaway - Ends 12/25}



Book Description:


Myth, murder, and money clash in this gripping undersea adventure.

The rare discovery of a ship sunk during the time of the Trojan War has been found off the coast of Turkey, near Troy. Charlotte Dashiell is an American nautical archaeologist and thrilled to be part of the recovery team. The wreck may contain proof of her highly controversial theory about the Trojan War.

Charlotte is present when the Turkish government agent assigned to guard the site is murdered. Her possible involvement and a questionable connection to a private collector of black market relics bring her under suspicion. Atakan Vadim is the Turkish agent sent to investigate her. Unknown to either of them, the smuggler behind the murder plans to steal a valuable artifact and frame Charlotte for the theft...after they murder her.


About the Author, Chris Karlsen:



I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history professor and my mother was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books.

My parents also love traveling, a passion they passed onto me. I wanted to see the places I read about, see the land and monuments from the time periods that fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa. 

I am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five years in law enforcement with two different agencies. My desire to write came in my early teens. After I retired, I decided to pursue that dream.

I currently live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, four rescue dogs and a rescue horse.

  1. Good Morning
    I'd like to thank Susan for taking the time to read and review Golden Chariot. I'm thrilled she gave it a 5-star rating. For anyone interested, the trailer can be seen on my website.

    Also, later this month the sequel to Golden Chariot will be released. It is called: Byzantine Gold. Charlotte, Atakan and many of the other folks will be returning.

  3. Ooooo, a frame-job mystery! I always cringe in sympathy with the falsely accused heroine.

  5. Hi Alison,
    I hope you had a nice holiday. I just finished the final edits on the sequel, Byzantine Gold, which will be released this in the next few days.
    I don't have a trailer for it yet, but do for Golden Chariot on my website and a book board on my pinterest page. The links for both sites are just a few paragraphs up.
