    About this ebook

    James Darley, the curator of ancient Egyptian artefacts has discovered a secret code written in an unknown script on a serpent-shaped crosier, found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun by Howard Carter in 1922. He doesn't have much time left to try and complete his researches in the British Museum, as the Egyptian authorities are demanding the return of the artefact to the Cairo Museum. He knows that the crosier is the most significant piece ever to have emerged from the tomb; indeed it holds a secret so powerful and yet terrible in its implications that James races against time to discover its secrets before its mysteries are lost to the world. James' fascination with the artefact drives him to the edge of sanity, where fear and obsession dares him to unleash its latent power...
