"They did not hide themselves in order to disappear, but in order to await the cue for their entry on the stage. They have been brought from the limbo of the wings with masks and gloves of gold." -- Jean Cocteau.

This is the story of an American Israeli student and athlete, Esther Friedman, whose bitter experience in losing her lover to an Arab rival turns her head and -- on the rebound -- she emigrates to Israel to work on a kibbutz. When this proves frustrating she joins the Israeli Army where she is spotted by the Mossad.

It all leads to a daring raid on the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where she and a team of agents steal the Mask and Golden coffin of the boy King Tutankhamun, as well as a myriad of ancient treasures. Their escape and the attempts to thwart their venture by the brillian Egyptian police chief, Mahmoud Shahin, lead to a breathtaking international chase across Europe -- all complicated by the ongoing love rivalry of the two women.

"From the Limbo of the Wings" is a modern-day story of love, lust, double cross, intrigue revenge and spy drama around the world where single-minded endeavour produces a compelling narrative around the time of the assassination of Anwar el Sadat.
