Smooth-talking Archaeologist Lowe Magnusson returns home from Egypt with a priceless amulet that he found. His plan is to make a duplicate to sell to a local collector while using the real amulet to clear his debt. But Museum Curator Hadley Bacall has him re-thinking his plan. Hadley's mother once owned small pieces of the amulet. She hid them throughout San Francisco before she died. Now Lowe and Hadley must find the pieces to restore the amulet to its full power.

This is an action-packed story. Lowe's enemies are out to get him since he has passed off counterfeit artifacts in the past. They're trying to kill him and getting closer and closer with each day. Hadley grew up in the shadow of her father who really didn't pay attention to her. Now she works for him and wants his job as the head of the museum when he retires. She is cursed with deadly spirits who appear when she is upset. Hadley finds keeping her calm around Lowe is nearly impossible. My rating: 4 Stars.
