- As a wife and mother, Baron lived in Jerusalem for two and a half years. When her family returned to the U.S. she returned to school to study anthropology and archaeology, receiving a Ph.D. in archaeology/ anthropology. Baron taught for twenty years in the Department of Anthropology at California State University, Fullerton. Years of archaeological fieldwork took her all over the world, but chiefly to the Middle East. She spent a year at the American School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem as an NEH scholar, and was director of the overseas campus of California State Universities at the Hebrew University. After retiring from California State University, Fullerton, she began to write archaeological mysteries.

Return of the Swallows is the first Aileen Baron mystery I’ve read—I was drawn to it because the heroine, Tamar Saticoy, is an archaeologist, who investigates for Interpol on the side. She’s not a modern Indiana Jones, however—she’s much more concerned with real issues that face modern archaeologists than mystical artifacts and wild chases.
The story begins slowly, with a patient archaeological excavation at the famous Capistrano Mission, and seems as if it might examine an ancient burial. Then it’s revealed that the mystery is much more modern, suspenseful, and dark.
