Trojan Gold by Elizabeth Peters (themulhern)
themulhern: "Digging for Troy" provides a reasonable bit of archaeological background for "Trojan Gold" and some good illustrations

I wish the book had been better written. I completely skipped over the story of the Trojan War, one of the four chapters in the book. The rest was the archaeological story. There were a number of excellent photographs, though, of the site and of the archaeologists. (
