The Pharaoh's Curse Murders

Lady Lucy Revelstoke knows she’s the only one who can find the answers — but ancient curses, petty rivalries, and powerful greed have other plans.

Who had reason to kill the young archeologist on board a ship to Egypt? Is it the work of a pharaoh’s curse, or someone with a personal motive? Lady Lucy Revelstoke and her spunky maid Elf work against time to find a fiendish murderer before they strike again.

It’s the winter of 1929, and merry widow Lady Lucy Revelstoke and her pickpocket-turned-maid, Elf, are voyaging to Egypt aboard the Thalassa, alongside two rival teams of archaeologists. Old-school British scholar Doctor Phineas King and his daughter, Isla, helm one team, while the other’s led by rich, flamboyant American adventurer Anton Margolis. Eager to score points against their intellectual opponents, both teams seek exclusive excavation rights over a prized tomb, despite whispers of a curse that befalls upon all those who dare to disturb the pharaoh’s grave.

Soon, a young archaeologist drops dead at a cocktail party. But who would have reason to kill this junior academic? Is this the work of the pharaoh’s curse, or someone with a personal motive?

As accusations of antiquity theft come to light and a distraught clairvoyant predicts further violence, Lucy and Elf race to uncover the fiendish murderer before they strike again.
