Summary

Wealthy museum donors gather in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Temple of Dendur to hear plans for a controversial new exhibit -- complete with IMAX time-trips and Rembrandt refrigerator magnets -- that has raised heated opposition from the museum elite. But now matters take a deadlier turn when the body of a young museum researcher is found in an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, and it's up to Assistant DA Alex Cooper to penetrate New York's exclusive museum society and track down the mysterious killer. . . .
