Listening: Young Girl Althea "Tommy" Tomlinson is a woman with a plan. When she was a child, her father's career as an Egyptologist was ruined by a charge of forgery she is sure was false--an event that she is also sure was ultimately responsible for his untimely death in a car accident. And now that she's an adult, she's back in Luxor, at the archaeological site that was her childhood home with a plan, to clear his name. But it quickly becomes apparent that if the artifact in her father's possession was not a forgery then it must be from an unknown tomb...and not just any unknown tomb, but that of the legendary queen Nefertiti. And someone will do anything to find it first. Spoilers Below
