Introducing . . . my next book!

Set in Egypt, Greece, London, and Turkey

Happy June! I’m popping in early today to share news of my next book, THE SEVEN KEYS. I am SO excited about this book and I hope you will be too!

Here’s the official announcement from Publisher’s Weekly:

And here it is in text in case images don’t play well:

Author of the forthcoming THE ENIGMA CHALLENGE S.C. Godfrey's THE SEVEN KEYS, a thriller in which an archeologist receives a coded letter requesting help from a long-lost friend, prompting her to set off on a globetrotting mission to uncover clues at the seven ancient wonders of the world—and rumored treasure—to save both their lives, with help from an irritatingly hot CIA officer, and foul play aplenty, to Jeramie Orton at Pamela Dorman Books, by Melissa Edwards at Stonesong (world).

I am delighted to be working with my editor and publisher again on this book. They are an incredible team and I am beyond lucky. And of course, my agent has been incredibly supportive—as well as providing crucial draft feedback when I was writing it, like “But does this make sense?” 😂 I really, really appreciate that kind of feedback.

You’ll notice the “seven ancient wonders of the world” in the announcement. I have had such an amazing few years researching the wonders and I can’t wait to share my deep dives with you. I’ve already done a few newsletters about aspects of some of them:

• Two incredible ancient finds in the Great Pyramid

• Forgotten and unloved lions

For those of you who have read THE ENIGMA CHALLENGE already, this book is set in the same universe but is not a direct sequel. I don’t yet have a pub date but I am sure I will obnoxiously announce it when I have one!

Okay, I’ll be back in your inbox in a week or two with a newsletter about ciphers and codes!

kthnxbye 🧟 ❤️
