Cairo Caper (A Wendy Darlin Comedy Mystery)

Summary

Hot on the trail of Cleopatra's grave all we had to do was get from Cairo to the Temple at Taporisis. Morning sunlight glared from the muddy surface of the Nile. Six floors down a body in white sprawled in a splat of blood. My first official kill as a tomb raider and it was an ashtray-rubout. How embarrassing. Professor Roger Jolley and I were in the first trimester of our third archaeological case. The adrenalin high of tomb raiding had become an addiction. As we sat in the Smiling Camel Café, I noticed Roger was wearing two left shoes. Brown wingtips. We were definitely starting off on the wrong foot. ~ Egypt, You are loved and respected around the world. ~ About the Author Barbara Silkstone is the best-selling author of: Wendy Darlin Tomb Raider series Wendy and the Lost Boys London Broil Cairo Caper Criminally Funny Fables series The Secret Diary of Alice in Wonderland, Age 42 and Three-Quarters Wendy and the Lost Boys London Broil Zo White and the Seven Morphs Cold Case Morphs.
