Treachery and a modest young woman
Seldom was a young woman found in England that was able to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs. Her father, a professor and collector of ancient artifacts, had encouraged her desire for learning and acted as her mentor. Through their years together, she had become an expert at cataloging antiques from the ancient periods to which they belonged along with her translating.
Her father's life work had been work on some ceramic tablets found on one of their many trips to the east. Other related pieces held in museums and private collections were thought to contain the directs for finding a fortune. Working side by side, the two of them were on the edge of completing the translation of the stone they had and her notes on the symbols were going to be invaluable in translating the other pieces.
Returning one afternoon, she finds her father on the floor of his library, dead. Though his death would have been devastating no matter what the cause, the realization that his death was unnatural and her life in danger, stripped her of the wonderful life they had shared.
Fearful of placing her only remaining family in danger, her life with no one to turn to, begins. This gripping story will keep you awake until the last page.
