Following their trip to Italy, it is now January 1901, and the Wilsons are on their way to the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. Abigail persuades a reluctant Daniel to venture into the pyramid via the entrance to the Robbers' Tunnel - using a flaming torch for light, they travel just a short distance, when they come upon the dead body of a man who has been garrotted. Investigations by the local police reveal him to be Simeon McGruder, a wealthy American who is financing an exploration of the pyramids. When Daniel and Abigail return to Cairo they are asked by the American Embassy if they can take on the case, but they have a difficult path to tread as they try to keep different factions onside: the British and American authorities, the puppet Egyptian Government and officials, while at the same time facing lies and deviousness from McGruder's associates and friends.

Jim Eldridge was born in central London towards the end of World War II, and survived attacks by V2 rockets on the King's Cross area where he lived. In 1971 he sold his first sitcom to the BBC and had his first book commissioned. Since then he has had more than one hundred books published, with sales of over three million copies. He lives in Kent with his wife.
