Estranged from his wife and adult daughter, he spends his days and nights lost in translationconstantly working and reworking the riddles inscribed on ancient funereal stones. A gifted American Egyptologist, he was hired by the British Museum in London to try to crack the code of one of the greatest remaining hieroglyphic mysteriesthe Stela of Paser. Stuck, with no newinspiration, he meets a seductive young woman who seems interested in him and his work. When Walter invites her back to the museum to get a closer look at his work, she secretly steals an antiquity and disappears. Thus begins Walters frantic search to repair the damage hes caused. Threatened by villains real and imagined, Walter races against time to win back the antiquity and his reputation, without losing his life in the process.
