Part of Dirk Pitt®, book 25
First published 2019
U.N. scientists lie dead in El Salvador after investigating strange deaths. In Detroit's waterways, a deadly collision claims more lives. Along the Nile, tomb raiders attack an archaeological dig. Dirk Pitt sees connections where others see coincidence. The violence points to something ancient and dangerous. Three millennia ago, an Egyptian princess escaped her father's armies, carrying secrets that could reshape the modern world. Pitt follows clues from Egypt's desert sands to Ireland's rocky coastline to Scotland's deep lochs. Each location reveals another piece of the puzzle. The princess left behind more than treasure. She left behind knowledge that someone will kill to possess. Pitt races against enemies who understand the stakes better than he does. The ancient mystery threatens to become a modern catastrophe. Only Pitt can stop forces that have waited thousands of years to strike.
