Summary:
In 1947, Neal is one of the youngest professors for Anthropology and North African History at the Columbia University in New York ever. He's about to get married to Kate when he gets the opportunity of a lifetime - participating in an expedition through the Northern part of the Sahara, studying the people there, their history, their daily life. Of course, he agrees, and that's the last time anyone has seen him.
Ten years later, Kate is married to Neal's former best friend, Matthew Keller (also a prof). He finally wants Neal's "ghost" gone from their marriage, and so he goes to P.I. Peter Burke, who accepts the job (Keller is wealthy, so the paycheck is rather nice). Together with Neal's former assistant, Sara Ellis, he retraces the prof's steps, which end at a magical oasis somewhere in the desert. What they find there is not what they thought and could be the beginning of something exciting and wonderful...
