London, 1922.

A discovery from ancient Egypt . . .
A cursed package . . .
The untold story of a young pharaoh . . .


When Lilian Kaye finds a parcel on her grandad's doorstep, she is shocked to see who sent it: a famous Egyptologist, found dead that very morning, according to every newspaper in England!


The mysterious package holds the key to a story . . . about a king whose tomb archaeologists are desperately hunting for.


Lil and her friends must embark on an incredible journey - to return the package to its resting place, to protect those they love, and to break the deadly pharaoh's curse . . .

'This crisp, beautifully paced story will hold every young reader in thrall.' Telegraph
