Book recs?

Breaking holiday radio silence to ask:

Who are some authors you enjoy who write novels where the main characters actually do research or go on searches, quests, even archaeological digs?

I've read Elizabeth Peters and some Kathy Reichs, and sections in Kostova's The Historian are sort of what I'm talking about. But mainly I'm talking about well, librarians and historians and archivists. Does anyone have some good recommendations?

Thank you!

I hope everyone has a lovely bank holiday weekend! :D

Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson. I rarely read a book twice but this got read 3 times since I first picked it up 4 years ago. It's a true story.
