Sinopse

A cruise down the Nile, a camel ride around the pyramids, lunch in the shadow of the Sphinx... And a very dead body!1924. Lady Eleanor Swiftáand her butleráCliffordáare touring the great, ancient sights of Egypt on a much-anticipated extended vacation. But when the pair arrive at the docks in Cairo expecting to board the luxurious paddle steamer advertised in their brochure, they are baffled by the crumbling old cruiser waiting for them. And things only go from bad to worse as death stalks the decks of the SS Cleopatra...Two days into the trip one of their fellow passengers,áLieutenant Baxter, is found shot dead in his locked cabin. Immediately suspicious and desperate to see justice done, Eleanor discovers a half-finished note addressed to her hidden in BaxterâÇÖs travelling trunk. In it he asks her to deliver a vitally important letter to the authorities at their next stop down river: a priceless treasure worthy of a king has been stolen andáan innocent manâÇÖs life hangs in the balance.But before the sands of time wipe away all evidence on board, Eleanor must uncover who among the other travellers wanted Baxter dead. Was it the anxious archaeologist who doesnâÇÖt have an alibi, the reptile expert with a passion for the murderous Nile crocodile or the art dealer with a devious secret?With the killer readying to strike again much closer to home,ácan Eleanor dig up the truthábefore sheâÇÖs trapped in a tomb under the pyramids forever?A gripping and twisty 1920s murder mystery set in Egypt, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E.
