Not all puzzles are meant to be solved. Paranormal investigator Beatrice Knight has no interest in pyramids, artifacts, or ocean voyages. So of course her werewolf employer gives her a precious relic to safeguard, then sends her to Egypt on a steamship. While it's no pleasure cruise, Miss Knight is almost enjoying the break from Victorian London. Before she can get too comfortable, she’s attacked by a thief, bombarded by birds, and haunted by her recently deceased husband. But when someone steals the puzzle, it’s all hands on deck. Will Miss Knight solve the mystery in time to stop a war?
