A rare-book find in a vintage Cairo bookstore... launches a dangerous murder mystery on the Nile for Daniel Cane, the Egyptologist detective

Daniel Cane, archaeologist-turned-detective, is plunged into a new mystery during a Nile cruise. A female passenger on board has found a copy of a notorious lost book in a Cairo bookstore: ‘The Book of Hidden Pearls’, a mediaeval treasure guide for tomb robbers. Revealing 400 hidden treasure sites along the Nile. A book to kill for - and people start dying. In the wrong hands “it’s like the nuclear codes for ancient Egypt’s lost treasures that will destroy the world’s heritage and fund criminal organizations, terrorism and rogue states,” he says. Now a treasure chase begins and Daniel’s deductive abilities are put to a deadly series of tests with repercussions for the world.
