Recently diagnosed with a degenerative neurological condition, Alex has taken her own life. Freya is met at Luxor Airport by a colleague of her sister's, who drives her the 515 kms to Dakhla Oasis where Alex lived. Only one other non-Egyptian is present at the funeral: Professor Flinders 'Flin' Brodie, 45 - tall, rugged, handsome - a world authority on pre-dynastic Egypt.
