TIMO

Cairo has a new legend. His name is Timo — and he has never been caught. He lives on the streets of Cairo, where every alley belongs to him and every dog has learned the hard way to mind their own business. Timo has no home, no plan, and absolutely no collar.

Until one afternoon, a hole appears in the ground. When Timo stumbles into an undiscovered Egyptian tomb — full of glowing golden walls and drawings that nobody has ever seen — he finds a collar in the centre of the room. Ancient. Humming. Extremely beautiful. Between us: it is also very shiny.

In a flash of golden light, Timo finds himself in ancient Egypt — standing in the middle of a very important ceremony — with a great many people staring directly at him. When the High Priest raises his hand to point at the large, important temple cat beside him... he sneezes. His arm swings all the way around. His finger lands on Timo.

"The Guardian of the Temple has been chosen."

Timo says nothing. His tail goes very high.

His first hour on the job starts brilliantly — until the sacred golden key disappears into the Sacred Pool with a very small plop. What follows is a search through every room in the temple, a high-speed chase through an ancient Egyptian market with a fast and entirely unreasonable monkey, and one spectacular accident involving a thief and a flying key — that Timo will absolutely claim he engineered from the start.
