England, 1921 . Intrepid reporter
Poppy Denby is headed to the English countryside to cover an auction of ancient Egyptian treasures, hosted by renowned explorer Sir James Maddox on his beautiful estate — Winterton Hall.
Maddox is auctioning priceless artefacts from his travels, including the death mask of Queen Nefertiti, which is alleged to carry a curse… Poppy is not one to believe in superstition but when an unfortunate ‘accident’ during the clay-pigeon shooting leaves one of the gun boys badly injured and she finds herself chased while walking the gardens, that’s enough for Miss Denby to smell a headline!
But when Sir James is found dead it’s clear there is more at stake than just a byline.
Is someone out to reclaim the ancient treasures, by any means necessary? And if so is anyone at Winterton Hall safe?
