Description
In 1922, Lord Earl Carnarvon financed the Egyptian expedition that unearthed
King Tut's tomb. While the fact that the dig gained a reputation for being
"cursed" is well known, Mathias Fowler slipped away into anonymity. Fowler, an
American on the team, had grown obsessed with the Ancient Egyptians and when he
returned to the States it was with several stolen artifacts in tow. Fowler had
become so consumed by the era that when he died, he killed all of his household
staff and had them buried in his mansion with him - a modern day Pharaoh's
Tomb. Almost 60 years after Fowler's death, Jessica Parrish, archeologist and
would-be-Indiana Jones, has been hired to assemble and lead a team into the
house to take back the missing pieces and disable the booby traps that have
already cost one unfortunate group their lives. Can Parrish and her comrades
navigate the elaborate deathtraps with their persons intact or will the curse of
Tut's tomb just add to its mounting body count?
