In the course of the investigation, they discover that they could be on the threshold of unearthing one of the greatest hidden treasure hoards since the discovery of King Tutenkhamen's tomb. But they come face to face with an organized group of killers after the same treasure. Along the way, the police detective finds danger and passionate romance.
