The Theif of me

I love mystery novels, especially the trashy ones. This synopsis’ll get you up to speed on all that evil grave robbing vocabulary you missed in class.
Practice Advanced Chinese Reading: Theif of TimeThere are three names in this text that are Chinese transliterations of English names, so I’ve given it my best guess. The first, 弗里德曼, I didn’t even try to translate, so I stuck with Fulideman (Fleiderman?). For the second, 利普霍恩, I went with Philip Horn. And the third, 吉姆•契, I went with Jim Qi. If anyone’s got a more standard translation for these names, please leave a comment!

A historically important American Indian tomb has attracted a large number of expert archaeologists, but has also attracted a viscious and merciless grave robber known as “The Theif of Time”.

Young archaeologist Dr. Fulideman has gone missing; two incidents of theft have happened near the police station; a mysterious missionary appears and vanishes; a grave robber dies tragically near the tomb… what is the connection between these events? How will widower Phillip Horn and down-on-his-luck Jim Qi untangle the riddle?
