THREADS OF THE LOST MYTH SERIES
A Cold War, Myth-Infused Historical Thriller of Political Intrigue,
Family Betrayal, and an Art Heist Worthy of the Silver Screen...
PAULA'S REVIEW:
“In order for life to mean something, Noura has to stand up and race toward what is right."
Welcome to the world of the Cold War 70s and a subversive group who is trying to steal artifacts from the King Tut Exhibition slated to begin touring the USA.
Noura is in Cairo getting the exhibit ready for transport with the help of a team including Theo. She does not know who to trust when she suspects someone of setting things up to abscond with relics for nefarious reasons. Things and people are definitely not what they seem. Noura questions which side she is on and even if family could be involved.
Lots of intrigue, manipulation, dangerous situations and a bit of romance. This was a well plotted story and I enjoyed the references to Egyptian mythology that tickled my imagination. With a climax in the midst of a hurricane in New Orleans, you couldn’t ask for a more interesting story.

Noura Marquette has spent her life piecing together remnants of the
past, but nothing prepares her for the day her sister resurfaces in
Cairo. Estranged for years, Estelle unleashes a web of whispered threats
and dangerous connections that capture Noura in a treacherous snare of
betrayal, art theft, and espionage.
In Washington, Nixon's administration maneuvers to use King Tutankhamun's treasures as a glittering tool of propaganda.
From
the souks of Cairo to the hurricane-lashed streets of New Orleans,
something older than history watches, stalking Noura as loyalties
fracture and the lines between history and myth blur. Some curses never
sleep, and some debts can never be paid.
