Mysterious intrigue, tense action, and Indiana Jones-esque adventure.
When an artifact from Cleopatra’s tomb is stolen from her local museum, Maggie Edwards is on the case. She quickly discovers that this robbery is not just a minor crime, but may actually be a clue to the discovery of a legendary, long-hidden piece of history. With the help of her intrepid boyfriend Henry, her uninitiated coworker Piper, and the rest of her astute and courageous team, Maggie must traverse the globe to collect rare artifacts and decipher complex clues before it’s too late. To make matters worse, the people responsible for the initial theft are hot on her tail, and they are willing to do anything necessary to stop them. As danger lurks around every corner, Maggie and her friends will need to be shrewd, resourceful, and perhaps a bit lucky if they want to survive.
This installment in the exciting Maggie Edwards series will appeal to readers of James Rollins and Clive Cussler that would enjoy a fun, lighter read. Maggie makes for a strong yet believable female lead in a genre historically dominated by male protagonists. Ever insightful and surprisingly daring, she is an integral part of the team as they travel across multiple continents in their efforts to unearth a massively important archeological discovery before their malevolent counterparts do. The dialogue between the characters is witty and at times humorous, providing a necessary balance to the intensity of the compelling storyline. Featuring mysterious intrigue, tense action, and Indiana Jones-esque adventure, Steele has written a highly entertaining book with an interesting and dynamic cast of characters. Experience the dangers and uncover the ancient mysteries in Secret of the Ankhs, the second book in the exhilarating Maggie Edwards Adventures.
