Uncover the Lost Queen's Deadly Secret

When British archaeologist Dr. Emma Sinclair discovers hidden chambers beneath the ancient ruins of Tell el-Amarna, she expects to find pottery shards and broken statues. Instead, she unearths evidence that could rewrite Egyptian history, and makes herself the target of a ruthless international crime syndicate.

This archaeological thriller plunges readers into the mysteries of Ancient Egypt as Emma teams up with Inspector Mahmoud Hassan of the Egyptian antiquities police to investigate a brutal murder at the excavation site. Their pursuit of the killer leads them deep into the political intrigue surrounding Nefertiti, Egypt's most enigmatic queen, and the religious revolution of the Amarna Period.

Racing across Egypt's desert landscape from the pyramids of Dahshur to the ruins of Akhenaten's capital, Emma and Hassan face tomb raiders, art thieves, and a Russian oligarch who will stop at nothing to possess ancient treasures. As they decode hieroglyphic mysteries and navigate underground chambers protected by three-thousand-year-old death traps, they uncover evidence that Nefertiti may have ruled Egypt as pharaoh in her own right -- and that someone killed to to find her tomb.

From satellite surveillance to cuneiform tablets, from Italian art experts to Hittite diplomatic correspondence, the investigation spans continents and millennia.

Perfect for readers who love international crime thrillers with historical depth, this novel features a female archaeologist protagonist who must use her expertise to survive while protecting humanity's cultural heritage from those who would exploit it. The desert chase scenes and underground exploration will keep you turning pages as Emma races to solve a mystery that no one has been able to solve.
