The Crossing Places:  A Ruth Galloway Mystery by Elly Griffiths

Sequestered in a tiny cottage on the edge of a remote English Saltmarsh, Ruth Galloway’s humdrum life as a professor of archaeology at the University of North Norfolk is about to take an exciting turn. She is jolted from her solitude by the discovery of a set of bones not far from her isolated home. As a forensic archaeologist, she is asked to examine them by Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson. It turns out that the body is two thousand years old from the Iron Age! Inspector Nelson is disappointed by this discovery since he was searching for the remains of Lucy Downey, a young girl who had disappeared ten years ago whose body had never been found.

Freya Hannen, sister of Egyptologist Alex Hannen, receives word of her sister’s death and travels to Egypt to tend to her final arrangements. While tending to Alex’s affairs, she becomes entangled into a race to find The Hidden Oasis.

If you are a fan of adventure with a spy vs. spy type of action then The Hidden Oasis is a very good way to spend a few days. Hang on for a high speed chase through the streets of Cairo to Egypt’s Western Desert. When the dust settles, you will be surprised to see what side of the game the characters end up on.
