The Fall of Troy - Peter Ackroyd

Not Ackroyd's best, but still a thought-preventing and entertaining read. The central characters are an egotistical archaeologist and his young wife, both working at a site that may or may not be Troy, and the plot is driven by the digging up of truths both literally and metaphorically. Classical parallels abound, of which I probably got about half.
