Althea Tomlinson comes back to Egypt as just another tourist, showing the country to a spoiled seventeen-year-old. That’s what she tells herself, anyway. Really, though, what drives her is a desire to discover the truth behind her father’s disgrace and subsequent death.

That she knows something is unquestionable. But what? Finding out will 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.
