After receiving an anonymous letter, New York lawyer Mark Wilder arrives in Cairo to learn the shocking news that he is the illegitimate son of Howard Carter, the famous British archaeologist who discovered Tutankhamun's tomb. Before he died in mysterious circumstances, Carter informed Abbot Pacomas, the last descendant of the great priests of Amon, that only his lost son could continue his life's quest: to find the papyrus hidden in Tutankhamun's burial place and reveal its contents to the world. No archive mentions this lost papyrus, archaeologists deny its very existence, mystical forces unleash themselves to protect it. It has become a legend - just like the curse that claims all those who disturb the pharaoh's eternal slumber. The quest to uncover Tutankhamun's final secret is fraught with danger. And as he attempts to complete his father's mission, Mark finds himself facing new enemies Howard Carter could never have foreseen, including the CIA and the Egyptian police.

Work Description
Le Caire, 1951. Mark Wilder, un brillant avocat américain, arrive en Égypte, attiré par une mystérieuse lettre anonyme qui lui promet de lui révéler qui il est vraiment. Au coeur du quartier chrétien du Caire, il rencontre un vieux prêtre copte, dernier descendant des grands prêtres d'Amon et magicien, dont les révélations bouleversent son existence. Mark serait le fils de Howard Carter, le célèbre archéologue qui découvrit la tombe de Toutankhâmon. D'abord sceptique, Mark enquête et doit se rendre à l'évidence. Il accepte alors une mission à haut risque : découvrir l'ultime secret de Toutankhâmon. Se heurtant à la CIA, aux révolutionnaires, et au Professeur, le patron occulte de l'archéologie égyptienne, Mark Wilder pénètre dans la tourmente d'une Egypte sur le point de s'embraser.
