{"product_id":"the-museum-detective-9781641297912","title":"The Museum Detective","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis gripping series debut introduces whip-smart Pakistani archaeologist Dr. Gul Delani, whose investigation into the discovery of a mummy gets complicated--and personal--when it collides with her years-long search for a missing family member. This gritty crime thriller inspired by a real-life antiquities scandal is perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Elsa Hart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the large, diverse, and densely populated city of Karachi, a young girl can vanish and never be found. This, Dr. Gul Delani understands well: It's been three years since her niece, Mahnaz, went missing, and the investigation has been called off. Gul does her best to distract herself through work--she is a talented and trusted archaeologist and museum curator, Pakistan's preeminent Egyptologist--but try as she may to keep her mind on the ancient past, somehow the thought of Mahnaz always sneaks back in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Gul receives a call in the middle of the night from the Sindh police, she thinks they may finally have an answer. Instead, Gul is summoned to a narcotics investigation in a remote desert region, many hours away. There, in a cave, they find a mummy--intact, seemingly authentic, its sarcophagus decorated with symbols from the ancient city of Persepolis. Gul is astonished. If it's a genuine archaeological discovery, it will rewrite history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking matters into her own hands, Gul will stop at nothing to authenticate the mummy--even as her quest brings her into the throes of a black-market scramble and a high-level conspiracy, and at last, just maybe, closer to the truth of what happened to Mahnaz, however difficult it is to face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11690165\"\u003eMaha Khan Phillips\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soho Crime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.51w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641297912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641297913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC022040\"\u003eMystery \u0026amp; Detective | Women Sleuths\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC050000\"\u003eCrime\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaha Khan Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Karachi, Pakistan.
