From the crypts of Abney Park, to the desert sands of Egypt, via the Canals of Venice.
Elliott, Giselle, Thorne, and Aquilleia are looking forward to their much overdue honeymoons when a panicked communication from Dona Carla sends them on a whirlwind journey into terror.
Their trip to Venice and Egypt is hastened by Lord Lapotaire, who requests their assistance in a case that has baffled the Veiled Protectorate. Murderous outrages are being perpetrated against British, American, and European travellers in Egypt...their money and valuables stolen and used to finance more atrocities.
As their investigation for the Empire, the Veiled Protectorate, and the Espion Court begins, Elliott and his friends, along with Veronique the Labrador, travel by luxury airship to their final destination...one of the most opulent hotels in the world: the Eridanus Grande Eau de Nil...a spectacular and unique hotel built within an ancient Egyptian temple set on a remote island in the River Nile
Also staying at the hotel are another honeymooning couple; Evelyn and André Devereaux...together with the groom's entire family.
When one of the hotel's guests is discovered dead at the Temple of Kom Ombo fifty-miles away, they realise he must have fallen from the airship some days before...but why did no one report him missing?
As their investigation continues, the friends realise they are dealing with a killer hell-bent on achieving their aim...at any and all costs.
Who is the mysterious figure watching Evelyn with burning eyes...and her husband Andre with such hate?
What does the mysterious Captain Anthony Darling have to do with the case?
Can be read as a stand alone book.
