I’m so excited to share the fabulous cover for my new book, Empress of the Nile, which will be published next year on Feb. 28. Empress tells the story of Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, a willful real-life version of Indiana Jones, who faced off against the Gestapo in World War II, then led an international campaign in the 1960s to save several of Egypt’s most priceless temples from being destroyed. With the help of Jackie Kennedy, that seemingly hopeless crusade turned out to be a spectacular success. You can preorder the book and read more about it on my website, lynneolson.com. Finally, a huge shoutout to the cover’s designer, Barbara Bachman of Penguin Random House.
