The Book of the Dead was a term used by the ancient Egyptians to describe the writings on the linen in which mummies were wrapped. They usually contained prayers to the gods of the underworld.
But they take on a deadly significance when Mussolini learns of an ancient Etruscan Book of the Dead that forecasts the rise of a great leader in Italy.
Kat Winters, an amateur archaeologist and an expert of Etruscan writing, is pressed into service by Western governments to go to Italy and find the fabled mummy before an Egyptian adventurer, who had tried to kill her in Egypt on an earlier expedition, finds it.
