Tragedy and danger await all who are attached to the possessions of the merchant marine adventurer, Captain Murray McCleod. Upon his death, his will requests the residence of his children Jon and Sarah, and niece Jenna, at his estate to categorize the treasures that he has acquired during his lifetime. Danger surrounds the innocent heirs on two fronts. The Captain may have incurred the curse of Sekhmet, an Egyptian daughter of Ra, the sun god, through the disturbance of her resting place. The heirs are also targeted by unscrupulous investment professionals, who have knowledge of the value of the estate and the treasures stored there. They are ruthless in their attempts to eliminate the heirs. A circle of death and destruction visits all of those who interfere with the proper placement of the ancient artifacts. Will the innocent heirs escape the wrath of Sekhmet? Will they elude the hired killers in their quest for the ancient objects of desire, in time to find the one true path toward safety and justice?
