Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are in Egypt, taking a cruise along the Nile. They are hoping to see some ancient temples and a mummy or two. What they get, instead, is murder.

Also travelling on the SS Hatshepsut is a mysterious society called the Breath of Life: a group of genteel English ladies and gentlemen, who believe themselves to be reincarnations of the ancient pharaohs. Three days into the cruise, their leader is found dead in her cabin. And soon, it’s clear to Daisy and Hazel that the victim's timid daughter is being framed.

But there is danger all around, and only one of the Detective Society will make it home alive...
