"Sweeping and hypnotic... Perfect for fans of The Maltese Falcon, Sarah Penner, and Kate Morton."
Julie Cantrell, NYT bestselling author of Into the Free
A deadly Cold War political game.
A cursed Egyptian artifact.
Two sisters: one the treasure's guardian, the other its thief.
Egyptologist Noura Marquette has spent her life piecing together remnants of the past, but nothing prepares her for the day her sister resurfaces in Cairo. Estranged for years, Estelle unleashes a web of whispered threats and dangerous connections that capture Noura in a treacherous snare of betrayal, art theft, and espionage.
In Washington, Nixon's administration maneuvers to use King Tutankhamun's treasures as a glittering tool of propaganda.
From the souks of Cairo to the hurricane-lashed streets of New Orleans, something older than history watches, stalking Noura as loyalties fracture and the lines between history and myth blur. Some curses never sleep, and some debts can never be paid.
