About this ebook

The golden burial mask of Tutankhamun was the most famous archaeological discovery of the 20th century. When it is stolen from the guarded hold of a cargo ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the impact of the crime threatens to destroy everything in one man's life.

Stephen Anderson is living a lie. A former Sergent in the French Foreign Legion, he deserted after witnessing the murder of a fellow legionnaire at the hands of senior officers. After faking his death in the Algerian desert, Anderson believes he is safe but must maintain a low profile to avoid detection. He began a new life as an investigator for a large US insurance company, letting others take credit for the items he retrieves.

Anderson is assigned as lead investigator by his insurance company to locate Tutankhamun's burial mask. The theft results in intense international press coverage, threatening to expose his hidden past. An attempt was made on his life immediately before the theft. Were the thieves trying to improve their odds of success, or is someone from his earlier life seeking revenge?

    Steven Anderson is an insurance investigator and when the golden burial mask of Tutankhamun is stolen from a guarded cargo hold of a ship he is called in to see if he can recover the artifact so his company doesn’t have to pay out. I love a good mystery and this one had me stumped. I couldn’t figure out who was guilty, though I had my suspicions (proven correct) about one of the individuals responsible and I couldn’t figure out how it was done. Very clever! I kept wanting to peek at the end just to see whodunit and how. I managed to resist, but just barely. The story flowed smooth and quick with no lag. Excellent! Can I just say that I love Steven Anderson? If I wasn’t already married to a most wonderful man I would pursue him. Well, if he were a real guy and not a fictional character. *winks*I am very much looking forward to reading more about Steven Anderson and can’t wait for the next book.*Many thanks to Red Adept for providing me with a review copy.
