Gleich am ersten Arbeitstag des neuen Kollegen KK Dominik Morgenstern wird die SOKO 5113 mit einem der ungewöhnlichsten Verbrechen ihrer Laufbahn konfrontiert: Dr. Klaus Dietz, Kurator im Ägyptischen Museum, wird mumifiziert in seiner Wohnung aufgefunden. Klara, die Schwester des Opfers, kann sich die Tat genauso wenig erklären wie ihr Mann Cornelius, wie Dietz' Professor und Mentor, oder wie ihre Zwillinge Jacqueline und Alexander, die als Dietz' Assistenten im Museum arbeiten.
Doch es bedarf zwei weiterer Opfer, bis Arthur Bauer und sein Team erkennen, dass die Lösung der geheimnisvollen Morde nicht nur in Cécile DuMonts Bestseller "Der Fluch des Osiris", sondern auch in den merkwürdigen Geschehnissen rund um eine ägyptische Grabungsexpedition in den 80er Jahren zu suchen ist - und dass Osiris einen langen Arm in die Gegenwart besitzt.
