Well-heeled travelers from around the world flock to the Mena House Hotelβan exotic gem in the heart of Cairo where cocktails flow, adventure dispels the aftershocks of World War I, and deadly dangers wait in the shadows . . . Β Egypt, 1926. Fiercely independent American Jane Wunderly has made up her mind: she wonβt be swept off her feet on a trip abroad. Despite her Aunt Millieβs best efforts at meddling with her love life, the young widow would rather gaze at the Great Pyramids of Giza than into the eyes of a dashing stranger. Yet Janeβs plans to remain cool and indifferent become ancient history in the company of Mr. Redvers, a roguish banker she canβt quite figure out . . . Β While the Mena House has its share of charming guests, Anna Stainton isnβt one of them. The beautiful socialite makes it clear that she wonβt share the spotlight with anyoneβespecially Jane. But Jane soon becomes the center of attention when sheβs the one standing over her unintentional rivalβs dead body. Β Now, with her innocence at stake in a foreign country, Jane must determine who can be trusted, and who had motive to commit a brutal murder. Between Aunt Millieβs unusual new acquaintances, a smarmy playboy with an off-putting smile, and the enigmatic Mr. Redvers, someone has too many secrets. Can Jane excavate the horrible truth before her future falls to ruin in Cairo . . . and the body count rises like the desert heat?
