The Seventh Scroll by Wilbur Smith (1995)

An ancient scroll leads to a deadly treasure hunt

Good Condition - with a heavily scuffed dust jacket, scratches, edge creases and small tears at the top.

An ancient Egyptian manuscript offers clues to a royal tomb hidden for thousands of years, and Egyptologist Royan Al Simma is determined to uncover its secrets. A violent attack that kills her husband turns their shared research into a dangerous personal mission. Joining forces with English adventurer Nicholas Quenton-Harper, she follows the trail towards Pharaoh Mamose's lost riches, knowing that others are prepared to kill for the same discovery. The search demands ingenuity and endurance as archaeological questions become immediate threats to survival. Wilbur Smith's adventure links the distant world of ancient Egypt with a modern expedition driven by ambition, grief and greed. Treasure, romance and relentless pursuit combine as the partners try to stay ahead of ruthless rivals.
