  Inspired by a real-life antiquities scandal in Pakistan, this gripping series debut introduces 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. Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Elsa Hart. 
    
  When Dr. Gul Delani receives a call in the middle of the night from the Sindh police, she thinks they may have finally found her niece, Mahnaz—a precocious, politically conscious teenage girl who went missing three years prior. Gul has been racked with grief since Mahnaz’s disappearance, and distracts herself through work: she’s a talented curator at the Museum of Heritage and History in Karachi, one of the country’s leading experts in archaeology and ancient civilizations, a hard-won position for a woman. 
    
  But there is no news of Mahnaz. Instead, Gul is summoned to a narcotics investigation in a remote desert region in western Pakistan. In her wildest dreams, Gul couldn’t have imagined what she’d find there: amid a drug bust gone wrong, there is a mummy—life-size, seemingly authentic, its sarcophagus decorated with symbols from Persepolis, the capital of the Achaemenid Empire. The discovery confounds everyone. It is both too good to be true, and for Gul, too precious to leave in careless or corrupt hands. 
    
  Aided by her team of unlikely misfits, Gul will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of it, even as her quest for the truth puts her in the throes of a dangerous conspiracy and threatens to collide with her ongoing search for Mahnaz. A portrait of a city fueled by corruption and a woman relentlessly in pursuit of justice, The Museum Detective is an exciting, gritty new crime thriller that announces a whip-smart and brilliant sleuth and builds to a stunning, emotional conclusion that readers won’t soon forget.

  Sir Oswald and Lady Coote are hosting a party at their rented stately home, Chimneys, for the season. The guest list includes Gerry Wade, Jimmy Thesiger, Ronny Devereux, Bill Eversleigh, and Rupert "Pongo" Bateman. Since Wade has a habit of oversleeping, the others decide to play a prank on him by placing eight alarm clocks in his room, all set to go off at different intervals. 
  The next morning, a footman discovers that Wade is dead in his bed, with chloral hydrate on his nightstand. Thesiger notices that one of the eight alarm clocks is missing, which is later found in a hedge. 
  Lord Caterham and his daughter, Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent, move back into Chimneys. When Bundle drives to London to meet Eversleigh, Ronny Devereux unexpectedly jumps in front of her car. Before he dies, Devereux manages to mutter, "Seven Dials..." and "Tell...Jimmy Thesiger." Bundle promptly brings his body to a doctor, who informs her that her car did not hit Devereux; he was shot.
