About Deadly Curse: Angus Brodie and Mikaela Forsythe Murder Mysteries, Book 11 (Unabridged)

The British Museum gets one more corpse than they bargained for as doors open for their new Egyptian exhibit. Excitement is palpable among London Society as the opening of the exhibit draws near. An invitation-only affair, it will be attended by the likes of the Queen, foreign dignitaries, and high-placed people in society, which most certainly includes Mikaela Forsythe and her great aunt, Lady Montgomery. The artifacts are magnificent—gold sarcophagi, statues, canopic jars, and a mummified cat line the hall, along with a legendary Book of the Dead found at Saqqara in Egypt. The day finally arrives and the attendees eagerly await an appearance by the explorer Sir Nelson Lawrence. And quite the appearance they'll get… Sprawled at the foot of a statue of Ramses II, a funerary mask covering his face and a gold-handled Egyptian dagger protruding from his chest, Sir Nelson's body is now on display alongside his life's work. While other attendees might be scandalized, Mikaela keeps a cool head, for murder has become an all-too-familiar part of life, and questions and suspects are already queueing up inside her mind. It's time for Mikaela and Brodie to take on the world of smuggling, a world with no loyalty that will challenge them at every turn. And while everyone feuds over who has a claim to the artifacts, rumors spread of an ancient curse set to claim them instead…
