Egyptian Fiction

In fog-enshrouded Victorian London, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson soon become entangled in a deadly web of intrigue and cryptic clues. Who is the silver-caned shadowy stranger? Is Euclid's College lecturer John Kindred really in danger? And what is the connection to the fabled and priceless emerald, the Egyptian Sepulchre?

Jessie is enamored by the past and has spent the last several years saving up for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Egypt. But she never imagined she’d get sucked into the glowing walls of her hotel room and come face-to-face with a living, breathing ancient Egyptian. Pulled back through time to the second century AD, Jessie is confronted by a tall, dark, loinclothed man who claims she’s the reincarnated soul of his long-dead wife - and the key to breaking an ancient curse. Certain she’s been drugged and kidnapped, she reluctantly agrees until she finds a way to escape.

We are in London in 1890, and the British Museum plans to exhibit the contents, brought specially to London, of a newly excavated Egyptian tomb. The event is disturbed by the murder of a museum watchman. A suspect is quickly found, a young museum assistant, caught red-handed with a bloodstained knife. But things are not so simple; behind this apparently clear case Holmes uncovers, piece by piece, just as did the archaeologists, a complicated story of blackmail, violence, and treachery that at every step threatens him, and Watson, with deadly consequences.

The ancient Egyptians believed in many gods and goddesses. Some gods and goddesses were a part of creation, others brought the flood of the Nile River every year, some offered protection, and others took care of people after they died.
