Beware the Eye of Amun-Ra

The usually office-bound Colonel Emmerson has seized the chance to visit Egypt to publicly open a new British system designed to secure the 'Eye Of Amun-Ra', a precious diamond with a powerful allure. However, he is dismayed by the appointment of a chaperone, MI6 agent Eddie Barton, clearly there to dampen his weekend away. He is further annoyed that the diamond is promptly discovered stolen and that he is cajoled into solving the crime with Eddie, partly to restore British reputation but principally that he keeps his job. But their investigation soon reveals that the diamond is no ordinary gem. Its disturbance has triggered a deadly curse raising the ancient spirit of the Pharaoh Nefahotep. His mummified body escapes from the museum seeking deathly revenge on seven unfortunate souls. Meanwhile, the criminal underworld is buzzing with double-crosses, lies and greed as the prized jewel is passed around Cairo. As the web of deceit tightens and supernatural deaths increase, can our heroes find the diamond and could even their own fate be entwined with its mysterious curse. Which leaves the tantalizing question - who really should Beware the Eye of Amun-Ra?
