Last Egyptian

L. Frank Baum

Last Egyptian

Last Egyptian

L. Frank Baum

Three Egyptologists converge on the deserts of Egypt, each harboring secrets that threaten to unravel them. When ancient artifacts go missing, forgeries surface in prestigious collections, and fortunes hang in the balance, the race to uncover the truth becomes as perilous as any pharaoh's tomb. An intricate web of intrigue weaves through the dusty archives and sun-scorched dig sites, where ambition curdles into betrayal and love becomes currency. Baum, writing under a pseudonym he hoped would spare his Oz legacy, delivers a ruthlessly clever adult adventure that refuses to let its readers breathe until the final hieroglyph is deciphered. The result is a surprisingly dark portrait of academic greed, bigoted assumptions, and the lengths people will go to possess a piece of eternity.
