Summary:In 1074 B.C., vast treasures disappear from the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs. In 1927, a daredevil American aviator vanished on an attempted transcontinental flight. And in the present day, a fishing trawler with a mysterious cargo sinks off the coast of Scotland. As the NUMA team searches for the trawler, they are joined by agents of the British MI5 to take on a wide-reaching international conspiracy. Their common enemy is the Bloodstone Group, a conglomerate of arms dealers and thieves attempting to steal ancient relics on both sides of the Atlantic. Kurt and his team are soon in a treacherous treasure hunt as they race to find the lost Egyptian riches before they fall into the wrong hands.
