The Lost Queen

by Paul Newman

First published 2018

Stuart and Harry Knowles share identical faces but opposite lives. Stuart built his reputation as an Egyptologist while Harry served time as a convicted felon. When they discover the hidden tomb of the Lady of The Two Lands, an ancient queen buried since antiquity, their physical resemblance creates chaos in both their careers and romantic entanglements. Two women enter their lives: the enigmatic Yasmin and the magnetic Delilah. Each brother wonders which woman mirrors the legendary Lost Queen they seek to uncover. The tomb carries an ominous warning carved in stone about doubles seeking each other out. As the brothers navigate underground chambers filled with golden artifacts and ancient curses, modern deception mingles with archaic threats. Their fates become as intertwined with Yasmin and Delilah as with the golden Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt herself.
