Journey of the Pharaohs
Book 17 of the NUMA Files series
In ancient Egypt, immense treasures vanish from royal tombs; in 1927, an American aviator disappears during an ambitious flight; and in the present, a trawler sinks off Scotland with mysterious cargo. Kurt Austin and the NUMA team investigate how the three events connect. Their search joins British intelligence against an arms dealer determined to seize the missing pharaonic wealth for modern power. Expansive and puzzle-driven, this maritime adventure suits readers who enjoy linked historical prologues, lost treasure, aviation mysteries, Scottish waters, MI5 cooperation, and globe-spanning hunts where archaeology and espionage converge on the same priceless secret.
