PHARAOH'S TOMBS. ANCIENT MYTHS. MODERN-DAY MURDER Dr. Hope Sze doesn't need a free trip to Egypt. She can't afford the flight to Cairo, or the cruise down the Nile, so she'd keep studying in Canada-except her fiancé;, Dr. John Tucker, yearns to patrol the pyramids and confront the curse on King Tutankhamun's tomb. So when a company offers them both a free stay in Cairo in exchange for a month's work in an emergency department, Tucker lobbies for a pre-honeymoon in the Valley of Kings and Queens, investigating the windswept temple of Hatshepsut, or scuba diving in the Red Sea. Instead, within 90 minutes of arrival, Hope drops to her knees outside the Grand Egyptian Museum, desperate to save a now-comatose 87-year-old Johannesburg man who'd raved about Kruger and treasure after receiving a nail through his skull. Tucker fixates on their one chance at the legendary Kruger Millions, a rumoured fortune that many believe lies secretly stowed somewhere in South Africa. Since their combined student debt load totals half a million dollars, Tucker can't pass up the possibility of a treasure trove in buried gold. Hope launches into her first mystery based in a birthplace of human civilization. Where the evil god Set battled righteous Horus and Isis in an 80-year war. Where wealth and power clash with political revolution. Where Antony fell in love with Cleopatra. Where Hope and Tucker must outwit, or fall prey, to a ruthless criminal mastermind.
