Historical fiction maven Fiona Davis returns with The Stolen Queen, a suspenseful novel that journeys from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the labyrinthine streets of Cairo.

It’s 1978 and Annie Jenkins is thrilled to land a position working for a former Vogue fashion editor who is organizing the Met Gala. Charlotte Cross, a former anthropology student who participated in a 1936 archaeological dig in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings that ended tragically, now leads a quiet life as the associate curator of the Met’s Egyptian art collection. When one of the Met’s most valuable Egyptian artifacts goes missing on the night of the Gala, a desperate hunch leads Annie and Charlotte back to Egypt - the one place Charlotte swore she’d never go again.

Davis is the New York Times bestselling author of seven novels set in iconic New York City buildings, including The Magnolia Palace and The Lions of Fifth Avenue. Her articles have appeared in the Wall Street Journal; O, The Oprah Magazine, and more.
