hello guys....firstly i want to say that u r doing a great job....second i need a bit of help about a book i read at least 10 years ago...i will try to explain a bit of the story and then maybe someone can help me with the title or the author....ok here goes

there were two archaeologists, a man and a woman, who finally fall in love with each other. They were both trying to find the grave of a pharaoh. At some point they thought they find it but then they realised that the person buried wasn’t the real pharaoh but his servant. the pharaoh was buried somewhere else.
eventually after a series of events they did find the right grave with the pharaoh.
A bit more help now….the woman had a dog that died during a car crash. In order to get to the grave they had to pass a series of tricks (Egyptian style-poisonous sticks/darts etc etc)
Is that any help?can anyone tell me if they have read the book?or if they know the title/author?
If u can please let me know
thanksssssssss

I don't know which book you mean, but this link might help. http://forums.abebooks.co.uk/abesleuthuk .I don't know your location, but this is the UK version of 'booksleuth' a part of the abebooks website, where people can help you out with the title of a book from the description. The people here are very good with this sort of thing, but booksleuth sometimes gets more traffic. If you're not in the UK, but in the US, google booksleuth and there is a version for you.

Could it be a Wilbur Smith book? Just a guess!

I can't remember the details, but is it by any chance The Seventh Scroll (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seventh-Scroll-Wilbur-Smith/dp/0330449958/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204017298&sr=8-1), by the above mentioned Wilbur Smith?

Funny, my first guess would be that it's a Wilbur Smith book too! :mrgreen:
