Sixteen-year-old Jane is every parent's dream daughter. If somewhat introverted, she's also responsible, scholastically motivated, and attractive. Jane discovers a locked Saratoga (steamer) trunk in her parent's garage attic. When she finds a key and opens the trunk, she unintentionally releases the ancient Egyptian 'Abydos curse' upon herself. The curse, now released from the trunk, engulfs her. She enlists the aid of university professors and Egyptologists to unravel the mystery. During their investigation, Jane unexpectedly disappears. A worldwide search commences and soon focuses on Egypt's Valley of the Kings. The Curse of the Abydos takes the reader from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to Egypt and the Valley of the Kings, outside Luxor. This compelling, poignant story takes the reader into an underworld of demonic spirits who created the curse during Egypt's twenty-second dynasty, three-thousand years earlier.
