Synopsis

A BURIED EGYPTIAN TEMPLE.

A SECRET KEPT FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS.

A RACE FOR LIFE WORTH KILLING FOR.

An international TV audience waits breathlessly as archaeologists prepare to break into a long-hidden vault beneath the Great Sphinx. But archaeology student Macy Sharif has already made her own shocking discovery: a religious cult raiding the site. Their prize? A map that will lead to something far more astounding: the lost pyramid of Osiris. Framed by corrupt officials, Macy goes on the run, trying to reach the only people who can save her before she is silenced—permanently.

American archaeologist Nina Wilde—once a renowned scientific explorer, now all but blacklisted by her colleagues—is trying to rebuild her reputation. But Macy's plea for help will send Nina and ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase on the ultimate treasure hunt. From the streets of Manhattan to a yacht off Monaco to a buried desert site, they'll follow an elusive trail stalked by a killer determined to uncover a six-thousand-year-old secret. And beneath the forbidding desert, they'll enter a forgotten world both wondrous and horrifying, where the ancient God of Death has kept his secrets—until now.

Goodreads review by Hailee on July 23, 2017

I’m a big fan of this series. Action/adventure thrillers isn’t my usual genre but I do have a couple on my tbr and I tend to stick with the series if they have characters that I love rather than the story plot itself.

Goodreads review by Thibault on July 28, 2022

After undeniably the best book in the series, we’re back to the norm of the first book here. It’s over the top action scenes from start to finish. And Egypt’s always a really strong setting for a treasure hunt adventure.......more

Goodreads review by Jordan on December 30, 2016

After 5 books in this series (and another 4 or 5 I haven't gotten to yet), one would think that McDermott couldn't possibly keep the continuing story of Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase interesting or entertaining. After all, each novel is basically a rehash, retelling, retooled version of the previous en......more

Goodreads review by Bibliophilic Word Nerd on March 03, 2022

Action movie in a book!! Yes, the double exclamation mark is deliberate. An action-packed book, but in contrast to his later books, Andy McDermott managed to weave a story in as well. We meet Macy, and learn her real name (!). We also meet Grant Thorn. The story is per usual: A priceless artifact com......more

Goodreads review by Joe on June 05, 2021

A tale of Egyptian Archaeology, and the addition of a 3rd character as they battle Nina's former employers in a race. In the main one of the best and well written, well paced, some educational moments and light moments too, a nice balance. Two things stopped this being a 5 star review; firstly the c......more
