The Pharaoh's Stone - Paperback

by Nick Hawkes (Author)

Upon his release from one of England's most fearsome prisons, Peter wanders aimlessly down to London's docks. Through an act of kindness, his life becomes entangled with that of a history professor, Alex, who is grieving the death of his bother in suspicious circumstances.

Investigations into the death lead them into the secret world of Freemasonry and its passion for collecting ancient Egyptian artefacts. Alex calls on Beth, an expert in Egyptian hieroglyphics, for her specialist help.

From London to Paris, New York, and the ancient temples of Egypt-the three of them band together to uncover the clues. As they get closer to solving the mystery of the murder, death stalks their every move. To survive, Peter must discover qualities about himself he never knew he possessed... and counter the audacious plot of a secretive organisation to grasp at international power.
