They've thwarted the designs of villains and crooks of all sorts, helped Scotland Yard crack their most challenging cases, and worked for Her Majesty's Government at the very highest levels. But nothing has been quite as challenging and dangerous as the latest case that comes to find them. In 1893, a volunteer at the British Museum makes a startling discovery. When examining a mummy in the museum's collection, he discovers there is a giant ruby in the shape of a heart buried in the chest of the mummy. Even more startling, the mummy might well be Cleopatra. The following morning, the volunteer is found floating in the Thames and the ruby has gone missing. Hired by the victim's wife to learn the truth behind his death, Barker and Llewelyn find themselves in the crosshairs -- now they must avoid a violent street gang, a ruthless collector, and the British Museum itself in order to find the killer and safeguard the gem." $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Barker, Cyrus $c (Fictitious character) 600 10 $a Llewelyn, Thomas $c (Fictitious character) 610 20 $a British Museum 650 0 $a Private investigators 650 0 $a Mummies 650 0 $a Missing persons $x Investigation 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation 650 0 $a Large type books 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 1800-1950 655 0 $a Detective and mystery fiction 655 7 $a Historical fiction $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Thomas, Will, $d 1958- $t Barker & Llewelyn novel ; $v 14. 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013103.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20231028015426.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20231020010512.0 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006013632.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20230713014236.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58C0E390214311EEBC7340321FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
