Featured Book: The Stolen Queen
Egypt, 1936: When anthropology student Charlotte Cross is offered a coveted spot on an archaeological dig in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, she leaps at the opportunity. New York City, 1978: 19-year-old Annie Jenkins is thrilled when she lands an opportunity to work for former Vogue fashion editor Diana Vreeland, who’s in the midst of organizing the famous Met Gala, hosted at the Metropolitan Museum and known across the city as the “party of the year.” Charlotte is now leading a quiet life as the associate curator of the Met’s celebrated Department of Egyptian Art. On the night of the gala, one of the Egyptian art collection’s most valuable artifacts goes missing. Annie and Charlotte team up to search for the missing antiquity, and a desperate hunch leads the unlikely duo to one place Charlotte swore she’d never return: Egypt.
