* Ursula V. Shaw, MD, PhD ,
TWENTY-SIX. PALEOPATHOLOGIST. MEDICAL DOCTOR.
COLD FACTS. HOT-BLOODED. FEMME-SAVANT.
First, meet Lady Sepuntepet, a royal favorite who briefly presided over the court of a 19th dynasty pharaoh, until an invisible killer struck her down 3,200 years ago. Now she's on her way to Los Angeles, to be installed with her sumptuous, deeply personal burial goods in a major new exhibit. In the mummy's tow is another foreigner, the brilliant British paleopathologist investigating her mysterious death. A femme-savant elbow deep in gore and government secrets, Dr. Shaw has traded juicier autopsies as a medical examiner for a future in diseases of the distant past.
In a very modern world, her finest features are her mind and a tried, unfailing sense of honor at odds with her peers’ ambitions; her worst—the blinkered, obsessive nature of her curiosity and integrity that often looks more like pigheaded stubbornness. A tour as a medic in Iraq left her rattled. The moral ambiguities of twenty-first century crime solving sent her straight back to research and the much longer-dead. LA seems the last place for a woman who's spent less time in direct sunlight than most mummies--let alone the spotlight. The presence of her nomadic little sister and an old flame who's never long out of the gossip columns promises to complicate her time here.

FRIENDS. Her sister jokes Ursula is an android--equipped with superhuman intelligence but devoid of human emotion. But Ursula, kind-hearted and guileless, can indeed make good friends. Be forewarned. With Ursula, famous names and famous faces won’t register or impress. She won't be cowed into submission by more beautiful singers, actresses, or models, and her prickly manners and pride will no doubt earn her some ENEMIES, but squabbles with little people won't hold her attention long. Whatever realm of her brain meant to manage flirtation has likely been co-opted by optical physics or Semitic languages. Her methods are more direct. We'll see what happens and who becomes a LOVER.
