Undercover agent Omar Zagouri has been ordered to Giza. A prominent Egyptologist was murdered, and a priceless artifact–the only complete version of the Book of the Dead–is missing. Omar is still reeling from the recent disappearance of his girlfriend, Mia Golding, but he puts his quest to find her on hold to track down the lost piece of history.
Omar’s mission is not just to locate the sacred book; he must also rescue the two archaeologists kidnapped and forced to translate its hieroglyphics under threat of death. Their kidnapper is determined to discover the text’s rumored explosive revelation: that Moses did not receive the Ten Commandments from God but instead copied them from the Egyptians. Though Omar’s need to find Mia grows more urgent, he must focus on finding the enemy who will stop at nothing to ignite a controversy that will change history, and the world, forever.

Summary
Reviewer Name: JoMama This is the second book in the Omar Zagouri series and it was a fun ride! I think what I love most about Ms. Moore's books is that they introduce me to new people and places in history and around the world. I often find myself curious about a particular person or place which leads me to doing a quick search on the internet to learn more. In this book, I loved the author's description of Hezekiah's Tunnel. I was unfamiliar with it and looked it up to understand more fully what the character was experiencing. Fascinating bit of history there. With Finding Sheba, the queen's story was my favorite part of the book. With this one, I loved Farrah and Kale's part of the adventure the most. The characters in this novel, particularly Hatshe, Thut, and Senen, were well developed and complex. I could see and understand their motives for doing what they did. I look forward to reading more by this author.
