This story is about Vicky Bliss, an art historian and sleuth who along with her boyfriend (who is thought to be a criminal and possibly iimplicated in the crime) are asked to solve the theft of King Tut's mummy from his tomb, before the news gets out to the public.
They are followed by various dark individuals and a woman who is a romantic interest of Vicky's boss-- is she really interested in him? or just using him to get to them? They end up hopping around Europe before finally making it to the scene of the crime in the company of Vicky's boss who is a bit of a dandy and who seems to have unlimted wealth and influence. It turns out colleagial jealousy is at the heart of the crime.
The story was quite light, it moved quickly and kept you wondering who could be trusted. It was an okay summer read.
