The Siamese Mummy

By Kara Bartley

BEWARE THE SIAMESE MUMMY!

Celebrated Vertebrate Paleontologist Jenna Matthews is at the top of her game. After an unusual fossil discovery in Kansas, Jenna travels to a conference in Toronto, Ontario to present her findings. On her return home to Wichita, the hands of time begin to change. Suppressed memories begin to surface as Jenna is forced to relive her life as a sixteen-year old.
When a mysterious mummified artefact arrives at the museum in Wichita, it brings forth a terror that hunts the city. Through bewitching intoxication, Jenna must fight between legend and reality to find the answers to a multi-layered tale of power and suspense. With the city in peril, she must overcome her fears to solve the mystery of the Siamese Mummy.
