century-old mistake. An impossible discovery. A secret buried beneath Colorado.
In 1923, British explorer Nathaniel Pembroke ventured into the Colorado desert and found something that should not have existed: traces of ancient Egypt thousands of miles from the Nile.
He left behind a notebook, a mysterious clue, and two words that everyone would misunderstand for more than a century.
OCTOBER 23.
In 2024, photographer Alex Whitmore and his companions stumble upon Pembroke's forgotten mystery. What begins as an amusing investigation into local legends soon becomes something far more serious: Egyptian hieroglyphs, an ancient totem, a gold plaque, and evidence pointing toward an expedition that may have crossed half the world three thousand years ago.
But someone else is watching.
And as Alex and his friends follow the clues across the Colorado desert, they begin to realize that the greatest mistake may not have been Pembroke's.
It may have been theirs.
A MISLEADING DATE is an adventure mystery filled with archaeology, ancient secrets, danger, romance, and humor-where one apparently simple clue changes everything.
Because it was never a date.
