- Synopsis
- A spy in ancient Egypt investigates who killed Queen Nefertiti in &“one of the most engrossing and sophisticated historical mystery series running&” (Publishers Weekly). Lord Meren serves as mentor—and eyes and ears—to the boy king Tutankhamun. But to keep the young pharaoh safe, he&’s keeping his investigation into the death of Nefertiti a secret. Meren has concluded succumbed to poison, not the plague, and he&’s narrowed his potential suspects down to three men. His clandestine efforts are interrupted when Tut asks him to look into a mysterious fatality at the royal zoo, but Meren remains focused—even when someone uses his own knife to make an attempt on Tut&’s life . . . &“The story has a dark, romantic power. . . . It&’s always a pleasure to negotiate the treacherous corridors of power with Lord Meren and his wily associates, eavesdropping on the priests in Pharaoh&’s court, ducking the knife fights on the back streets of Memphis—and picking up beauty tips from Nefertiti.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“A mesmerizing blend of tantalizing suspense, high-speed action, and gripping historical intrigue . . . An outstanding thriller.&” —Booklist
