Joining forces with astrophysicist Tom Brooking she crosses four continents, to unlock the dark secrets of Tutankhamun’s tomb, the Holy Sepulchre and the mysterious Mayan Temple of Inscriptions to reveal a mysterious truth.
Together they risk their lives, pursued by martial assassins and renegade special forces, fighting the forces of evil to discover hidden knowledge so precious that it has lain dormant for over a thousand years…

“Masks of Lost Kings” is solid entertainment. Ancient mysteries, conspiracy, murder and Suzie – the young archeologist with a provocative theory. It’s all there from the depths of Egyptian tombs to terror on the streets of Cairo. She is on a grant to study in Egypt and gets involved in an enigmatic tangle as brooding as the Sphinx. She doesn’t know what’s going on and neither does the reader. That all adds up to an engrossing story.” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars
