Book 4: The Gilded Pharaoh

When the golden burial mask of an unrecorded pharaoh is stolen from Cairo’s Museum of Antiquities, the theft sends shockwaves through the art world—and lands Dr. Sofia Bianchi, renowned art restorer and reluctant sleuth, in the middle of Egypt’s most dangerous intrigue. Summoned to authenticate a mysterious artifact found on the black market, Sofia quickly realizes the mask is part of a far older secret—one powerful enough to rewrite history and make her the next target. From the bustling Khan el-Khalili market to the silent halls of the Egyptian Museum at midnight, Sofia navigates a perilous maze of double-crossing collectors, shadowy smugglers, and a charming yet untrustworthy Egyptian detective who seems to know more than he reveals. As the sands of time run out, Sofia must follow a trail of cryptic hieroglyphs, hidden tombs, and royal rivalries to uncover the truth behind The Gilded Pharaoh. But the closer she gets, the more she understands: some treasures were never meant to be found. A Sofia Bianchi Mystery — where history, danger, and desire converge in a race against time.
