Description
A richly mysterious Nile cruise becomes a journey through time for Anna Fox, who retraces her great grandmother's steps from Luxor to Aswan. She carries two mementos from Louisa's 19th-century voyage: an ancient Egyptian scent bottle and an illustrated diary that has lain unread for over a hundred years. As Anna follows in Louisa's footsteps, she discovers a wonderful Victorian love story and uncovers the chilling secret of the little glass bottle. However, her journey is disrupted by two men from the tour party who develop an unfriendly rivalry for her attention, while showing a disturbing interest in Louisa's possessions. A spectral presence also begins to manifest, growing stronger and more threatening as the stories from three different eras intertwine. The result is a gripping pacey read that weaves together past and present in a terrifying climax.
