The Cairo heat was unforgiving, but she barely noticed.
Her attention was focused entirely on the worn piece of parchment clutched in her hand—the missing half of her father’s final discovery.

Hamunaptra was real.

Unfortunately, fate had a cruel sense of humor.
The other half of the map was already in the hands of the last man Amelia wanted to rely on.
Rick O’Connell.
