About The Gold Locket A complex, sweeping Greek-AMerican family saga that combines mystery, romance, murder and historical fact. The Gold Locket tells the story of Althea Poulos, a young woman searching for truth. The action primarily takes place in Portland, Oregon in 1955, but flashes back frequently to 1926, and even to the nineteenth century. The characters' pasts and presents also bring them to Europe as the Nazis are beginning their rise to power, and especially to Greece, home of their extended family, both in wartime and post-war.
