The review of this Book prepared by Shannon Ryan




After her father's death, Julie moves some of his most recent dig items into their townhouse in classy Mayfair London. When a thought to be dead mummy comes to life and pleads desperately to Julie for her assisstance in righting a wrong thousand of years old, her world is torn apart.
