Synopses & Reviews
An accomplished Egyptologist, Carla Day's affectionate-but-confused elderly father now lives in a fusion of past and present at an upscale assisted living facility. Then a string of suspicious events unravels at the home, and Carla, hoping to keep a close eye on her dad, takes a job there. But management has one condition: Spy for us, figure out who's doing this, and you and your father can stay...
Soon, terrible things happen-and Carla's father rambles not only about Egypt, but also about a dead woman on the nearby beach. The answer may lie in an ancient Egyptian tomb. Or maybe it's somewhere further-buried deep in the recesses of a brilliant old man's memory.
