THE LOST TOURIST IN EGYPT
A Lost Tourist Mystery #1
Cozy, Amateur Sleuth
S.M. Arthur
What begins as a dream vacation soon turns into a race for survival for Phoebe’s husband and for her marriage.
Phoebe Anderson thought a Nile cruise would be the perfect way to celebrate her twentieth wedding anniversary—and maybe find clarity after years in a failing accounting career. But Egypt is changing fast, and so is her life. Days before boarding the Cleopatra cruise ship, a monumental tomb is discovered: the resting place of the ancient Mayor of Memphis. The find sparks excitement—and danger.
When a celebrated archaeologist is murdered, priceless gold vanishes, and Phoebe’s husband, Ted, disappears with a mysterious younger woman, Phoebe is thrust into the heart of a deadly mystery. Abandoned by the authorities, she must rely on an unlikely crew: her young computer friend in Denver, an eccentric university friend, a charming gift shop owner, and a sharp-witted British tourist.
As the cruise winds down the Nile, Phoebe gathers clues at every stop—from Cairo’s bustling streets to the secrets hidden in ancient temples. With her marriage unraveling and danger closing in, Phoebe must solve the puzzle before someone else vanishes.
Will she find her husband? Will she find herself?
Set against the exotic backdrop of Egypt, The Lost Tourist in Egypt is a gripping tale of betrayal, discovery, and a woman’s awakening to adventure.
