Kemp Hastings and his investigative colleague Doctor Darlene Gammay are pursued by the Grand Lodge of Cairo (GLOC) who are hellbent on murdering Darlene now that she has been given a glimpse into the afterlife having been gifted with the power of the ancient Egyptian ritual known as the 'Assignation'. Darlene is transported into the afterlife and endures what she can only describe as a 'live' and very disturbing embalming event, is this an ancient curse that has been bestowed upon the disbeliever or is this a step in our time for the betterment of mankind. Having had to flee from the Cairo museum to Malta the couple are accompanied by Professor Mohammed Elfecky who is working to a more deadly agenda. Has the Apostle's Apostle ' Mary Magdalene' really targeted Doctor Gammay by leaving a tattoed image spread across her back and shoulders, or is this an infliction delivered by an inexplicable series of circumstances that Kemp Hastings struggles to rationalise.
