Synopsis: As they have so many times before, Carla Day and her Egyptologist father are visiting the museum—and the ancient coffin lid he discovered years ago—when a fellow museum-goer falls to the floor, choking. Dr. Day rushes to pry off the poor man’s tie, but instead of getting praise, he gets charged with murder by strangulation—and accused of faking Alzheimer’s.
The charges are dropped when it’s learned that the museum-goer isn’t dead, but comatose. And when he vanishes, Carla begins to suspect that her father’s faulty memory may be the only link between a millennia-old Egyptian death and a present-day California one.
“Clever and poignant . . . The puzzle intrigues and the characters come to life.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch
“[An] acerbic, funny, insightful voice.”—The Boston Globe
“A cleverly designed whodunit [with an] unnerving shocking final confrontation.”—Midwest Book Review
