Note: A variant signed edition is available at Waterstones, which instead displays the ISBN 2-928377-056421 on the back cover. However, the new ISBN is just a sticker (and indeed, is not even a valid ISBN) — the copyright page still has the original ISBN and the book as a whole is otherwise identical (apart from the title page containing a bookplate signed by Alex Kingston), hence not listed as a separate edition here. Cover blurb: No sooner was this jewel plucked from its setting than there came a cry from the entrance to the tomb... Inside cover flaps read as follows: 1939, New York. Private Eye, Melody Malone, is hired to find a stolen ruby, the Eye of Horus. The ruby might hold the secret to the location of Cleopatra’s tomb — but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. Can Melody escape the ruby’s curse? 1939, New York. River Song, author of the Melody Malone Mysteries, is forced to find a reality-altering weapon, the Eye of Horus — but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. River doesn’t believe in curses — but is she wrong? From the top-security confines of Stormcage to the barbarism of first-century Egypt, River battles to find the Eye of Horus before its powers are used to transform the universe. To succeed, she must team up with a most unlikely ally — her own fictional alter ego, Melody. And together they must solve another mystery: Is fiction changing into fact — or is fact changing into fiction?
JACQUELINE RAYNER is the author of over forty books and audio plays, including number one bestseller The Stone Rose, the highest-selling Doctor Who novel of all time. She lives in Essex with her husband and twin sons. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
