Official synopsis Publisher
Althea Tomlinson came back to Egypt as just another tourist, showing the country to a spoiled seventeen year old. That’s what she told herself, anyway. Really, though, what drove her was a desire to discover the truth behind her father’s disgrace and subsequent death.
That she knew something was unquestionable. But what? Finding out would clear her father’s name, certainly. It could also lead to Althea’s death…because the secret is centuries old-as old as the treasure of Nefertiti.
