      The Secrets of the Stone A Lottie Lipton Adventure - Dan Metcalf

      Code

      Chapter One

      London, 1928

      BANG!

      Lottie jumped at the noise, almost spilling her cocoa on her cardigan and skirt. The sound echoed off the walls of the museum library’s reading room where she was reading her favourite magazine, True Mysteries. The story was about Detective Inspector Victor Blade of Scotland Yard who was hot on the trail of a local burglar called Bloomsbury Bill. Lottie loved to read about DI Blade and couldn’t decide whether to be a detective when she grew up, or an archaeologist like her parents. Maybe both, she thought.

      Lottie climbed out of her special reading nook, looking for the source of the bang. It looks like I’ve got a mystery of my own to solve, she thought.

      Lottie had lived in the British Museum since she was four, when her archaeologist parents were killed on a dig in Egypt. The museum was a huge building packed with precious artefacts from thousands of years of world history. It was dark now. The winter sun had set and the museum was closed to the public. Lottie left the library and peered down the dark corridor. Where had that noise come from?

      Urrgghhh…

      Lottie froze as she heard a low, deep moan coming from the South American section. She grabbed a nearby pole that they used for opening high windows and tiptoed closer to where the noise was coming from, holding the pole like a weapon. Just in case, she thought.

      Urrrrgggghhhhh!

      There it was again! With a deep breath, she pushed the door open with her foot and leapt out into the room. She raised the pole above her head like a spear, ready to strike.

      Lottie?

      Lottie turned on the lights to discover a large man in a linen suit and bow tie lying on the floor.

      Uncle Bert?

      Lottie’s Great Uncle, Professor Bertram West, the Curator of Egyptology at the British Museum, was lying
