&quote;A gripping time-slip suspense story.&quote; -The Bookseller Recently divorced, Anna Fox decides to cheer herself up by retracing a Nile cruise her great-great-grandmother, Louisa, made in the mid-nineteenth century. Anna carries with her two of Louisa's possessions-an ancient Egyptian scent bottle and an illustrated diary of the original cruise, a diary that hasn't been read in a hundred years. As she follows in Louisa's footsteps, Anna discovers in the diary a wonderful love story from the Victorian past-and the chilling, more distant secret of the little glass bottle. Meanwhile, two men on the cruise are developing an unfriendly rivalry for Anna's attention-and a disturbing interest in Louisa's things. Most frightening of all, Anna finds herself the victim of a threat that grows in strength and darkness as the dramatic stories from three different eras intertwine along the mysterious waters of the Nile. What Readers are Saying &quote;The images she creates are fantastically interwoven in a mysterious romance. I couldn't stop reading.&quote; &quote;Great! Chilling and full of betrayal, revenge, and heat.&quote; &quote;All Barbara Erskine's books have the excitement, detail, slight historical slant, and twists which make the reader look over their shoulder.&quote; &quote;I found myself gripped by the story of Anna and her ancestor, Louisa. The two stories are skillfully threaded together with a magical blend of the stunning descriptions of Egypt and the love stories that enfold the two women.&quote; &quote;It is a mystery that is unfolding before your very eyes. A real page-turner.&quote;
