Description

Within a fading papyrus, nearly four thousand years old, lie the clues to a fabulous treasure from an almost forgotten time ...a riddle that becomes a savage battle across the unforgiving terrain of North Africa. When her husband is brutally murdered, beautiful half-English, half-Egyptian Royan Al Simmu is forced to seek refuge in England. With eminent archaeologist Nicholas Quenton-Harper, she can pick up the pieces of her shattered life and find the courage to return to Ethiopia. For Duraid. And for the dreams of an ancient Pharoah ...Because others will stop at nothing to claim the prize as their own. "A desert sandstorm couldn't get pages turning faster than Smith" - "Independent On Sunday". "Full blooded, muscle-on-bone-crunching treasure hunt ...it is non-stop action" - "Daily Express".
