About this book
The past comes to life once again in the fourth installment of this Ancient Egypt murder mystery series that the New York Times calls "resurrectionist magic!" Lord Amerotke Pharaohs chief judge is already in the midst of a murder case. A young ambitious scribe Ipumer-supposedly in love with the daughter of a powerful general-had hoped to become betrothed. Instead he is dead from poisoning and the prosecution has indicted his lover Lady Neshratta who apparently grew tired of the dalliance. If found guilty she will be buried alive in the desert sands of the Red Lands. But before the trial is concluded the powerful female Pharaohs chief advisor summons Amerotke to the Temple of Seth where he is awaited by the remains from another high-profile murder. One of Egypts great heroes has been brutally killed and Pharaoh Hatusu herself has decided to intervene. She believes that General Balets murder is only the beginning of something more sinister and she calls on Amerotke for help. There is more to the deaths than meets the eye . . . but can Amerotke track down the killer-or killers-before he strikes again?
