The Third Gate - Lincoln Child

\n \nAn archaeological expedition digging where it shouldn't. . . \nA crown so powerful it is rumored to be cursed. . . \nAnd the one man who can explain it all. . . \n \nDeep in a nearly impassable swamp south of the Egyptian border, an archaeological team is searching for the burial chamber of King Narmer, the fabled pharaoh. Narmer's crown might be buried with him: the elusive double crown of the two Egypts. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, strange things begin to happen. Could an ancient curse be responsible? Jeremy Logan, history professor and master interpreter of bizarre and inexplicable enigmas, is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds raises fresh questions . . . and immediate alarm.\n
