Description
It's November, 1922. In a valley in Egypt the tomb of a long-dead pharaoh is about to be discovered. The world watches and waits for news with bated breath. Thirteen-year-old Lilian Kaye is eagerly following the story. One morning the news takes a sinister turn: a man — a famous Egyptologist — disappears. All that remains of him are his feet. Then Lil's grandfather falls suddenly ill, and when a mysterious package turns up for him from the Egyptologist, Lil starts to believe there is truth to the rumours of a pharaoh's curse.
