The Stolen Queen: A Mystery Whodunnit Set in the Met Museum

The Stolen Queen, the newest historical fiction novel by New York
Times bestselling author Fiona Davis, publishes today, January 7,
and is set in the hallowed halls of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. When the Met’s prized Egyptian artifact goes missing, an
unlikely female duo—curator and anthropologist Charlotte Cross
and eighteen-year-old Annie Jenkins from the Met’s costume
department—team up to investigate the theft, unraveling decades
old secrets particularly in Charlotte’s own past. Charlotte is an
enigmatic figure, and Annie is peppy, indefatigable young woman
at the start of her career. Fiona Davis describes The Stolen
Queen as "mummies and glamour."
