Footprints in the Sand

When Lucy Lawrence travels to Egypt with a dashing French archaeologist, she thinks she's leaving her troubled past behind. But in the shadow of the pyramids, death and deception await...

Egypt, 1887. After scandals in London, young widow Lucy Lawrence seeks a fresh start in Cairo, agreeing to fund an archaeological dig led by the charismatic Frenchman Armand Moreau. Enticed by Egypt's ancient mysteries, Lucy dreams of making a spectacular discovery. But her hopes turn to dread when Moreau is found brutally murdered in the Great Pyramid. The only clue is the ceremonial dagger buried in his heart – a relic of Moreau's own past.

As mysterious thefts plague the expedition, Lucy becomes ensnared in a plot reaching from lost desert tombs to Cairo's stylish avenues. With Phineas Stone far away in London, Lucy must rely on her own wits to uncover the truth behind Moreau's death. Pitted against corrupt officials, rival archaeologists, and a foe determined to silence her, can Lucy unmask the killer... or will she become the next unlucky victim herself?

An unputdownable historical mystery blending mystery, romance and murder, Footprints in the Sand is the second novel in the bestselling Lucy Lawrence Mystery series.
