Works of: Fiction

England, 1921. Intrepid reporter Poppy Denby is headed to the English countryside to cover an auction of ancient Egyptian treasures, hosted by renowned explorer Sir James Maddox on his beautiful estate – Winterton Hall.

Maddox is auctioning priceless artefacts from his travels, including the death mask of Queen Nefertiti, which is alleged to carry a curse… Poppy is not one to believe in superstition but when an unfortunate ‘accident’ during the clay-pigeon shooting leaves one of the gun boys badly injured and she finds herself chased while walking the gardens, that’s enough for Miss Denby to smell a headline!
