A drowned scholar. A count with secrets. A treasure worth killing for. When a Hungarian Egyptologist disappears from his hospital bed in the middle of the night, Nurse Cordelia Russell is certain something is amiss. Feverish and weak only hours before, he could not possibly have slipped out unnoticed--yet by dawn his body is found in the Nile. The police, including Cordelia's own brother, are satisfied with a verdict of tragic accident. Cordelia is not. She spots clues that point to something far more sinister. Cordelia follows a trail that leads from hospital wards to grand hotels, from ancient tombs to glittering caf s--and into the orbit of the enigmatic Count J nos von Hohenstat, a charming aristocrat whose interest in the dead man may not be entirely innocent. As secrets surface and loyalties blur, Cordelia must decide whom she can trust before the killer turns his attention on her. Join Cordelia in the thrilling second installment of her Cairo mysteries
