THE CAIRO CIPHER
A rain-blurred postcard. A missing father. A secret history that could burn the world down.
Maya Finch is an archivist who lives by order, silence, and the preservation of the past. But her meticulous life in London shatters when a water-damaged postcard arrives from Cairo—sent by her estranged father, a renowned Egyptologist who has just vanished into the desert.
Hidden beneath the ink and rain stains lies a cipher written in an ancient script—a desperate plea for help that only Maya can decode.
To find him, Maya must leave her sanctuary and plunge into the chaotic heart of the Middle East. But she isn't the only one hunting for answers. A shadowy organization known as The Syndicate is erasing history to control the future, and they are willing to kill to keep their secrets buried.
From the dusty alleyways of Cairo and the flooded ruins of Angkor Wat to the neon-lit shadows of Tokyo, Maya is forced into a deadly global race. Guided by the ghosts of the past and a ragtag team of allies, she must decipher a trail of artifacts—a ceremonial bowl, a fractured mirror, a hidden ledger—before the "Owl" takes flight.
The water remembers what the history books have forgotten. But can Maya solve the Cairo Cipher before the rising tide swallows the truth—and her father—forever?
Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, and James Rollins, The Cairo Cipher is a pulse-pounding archaeological thriller about the cost of silence and the power of memory.
