| Denver homicide detective Nick Teffinger follows a killer to Paris where he and a beautiful young French detective devise a brilliant but risky plan to trap their elusive target before he can take his next kill. Almost immediately their case intersects with a separate cat-and-mouse game being played by a law firm interpreter who is hunting the killer of her uncle, a prominent archeologist.With much more than simple murder at work and with the stakes higher than anyone could have expected, the hunts stretch from Paris to Cairo to the Valley of the Kings, deeper and deeper into a deadly world of ancient secrets, unimaginable treasures and archeological murders.
