Description

A stylish Doctor Who sci-fi noir adventure by award-winning actress Alex Kingston, featuring her most famous characters—private detective Melody Malone and legendary time-travelling archaeologist River Song.

She's got ice in her heart and a kiss on her lips...

1939, New York. Private Eye, Melody Malone, is hired to find a stolen ruby, the Eye of Horus. The ruby might hold the secret to the location of Cleopatra's tomb—but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. Can Melody escape the ruby's curse?

1939, New York. River Song, author of the Melody Malone Mysteries, is forced to find a reality-altering weapon, the Eye of Horus—but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. River doesn't believe in curses—is she wrong?

From the top-security confines of Stormcage to the barbarism of first-century Egypt, River battles to find the Eye of Horus before its powers are used to transform the universe. To succeed, she must team up with a most unlikely ally—her own fictional alter ego, Melody. And together, they must solve another mystery: Is fiction changing into fact—or is fact changing into fiction?
