Sirocco, Storm Over Land and Sea

Sirocco, Storm over Land and Sea, is Book 2 of the "Legends of the Winged Scarab" series. While it has strong tie-ins to the Author's historical fiction saga Khamsin, The Devil Wind of The Nile, it also stands alone as a modern-day thriller. Egyptologist Naunet Klein arrives in Cairo to assist museum director Dr. Jabari El-Masri in deciphering golden tablets inscribed with dire predictions from an unknown ancient culture predating the Egyptians. She never dreamed that she would meet a handsome stranger. Nor had she and her two colleagues expected to be embroiled in Egypt's political upheaval, and an audacious theft that culminates in kidnapping and murder. During a perilous voyage up the Red Sea she learns the truth about her captor and the ancient writings. Time is running out.
