The Heart and the Scarab

Mystery and Desire in the Ancient Desert --
Pretty Sue Thorton was stunned when she first saw Mahmoud, the handsome Egyptian professor. Here was the sensual man whom she had dreamed about night after night, who might be able to help her discover the facts behind her parents' sudden death in Egypt many years before.

The only link Sue has with her parents is an ornate blue scarab they left her. But as she becomes more and more involved in the strange circumstances surrounding their death, Sue realizes that the scarab holds the key to that mystery -- and Mahmoud holds the key to her heart.
