Tomb of Herihor Edith I Kunz

Charles Blumfield, unsavory multi-millionaire and persona non grata in Egypt, offers Professor Surry Semaine a map said to show the Egyptian desert location of the lost tomb of Herihor. Egyptologists have long dreamed of finding the historical Pharaoh's hidden 11th century BCE burial site--rumored to be filled with gold, silver, art treasures, royal mummies and invaluable secrets of the Golden Dynastic Age--but there is always a price to pay when Blumfield is involved. The map leads to a sensational discovery, but also to murder, jealousy, political intrigue and revenge as Professor Semaine and his team become painfully aware that the laws and ethics of university life do not apply in the shifting sands of the Sahara.
