Was the treasure of Pharaoh Khufu discovered during Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, brought back to France, and then hidden in Paris? Christian Robinson, a flamboyant archaeologist with unorthodox methods, has been convinced of this since the discovery of a mysterious inscription during new excavations in Cairo. Determined to decipher the clues left by Dominique Vivant Denon, the first director of the Louvre, Christian Robinson embarks on a quest for the extraordinary treasure across Paris, from the dusty archives of the Louvre to the secret chambers of the Malmaison. He takes his daughter and grandson on his adventure, in the insane hope of making the greatest archaeological discovery of the 21st century in Paris...
