Like no other book...brings ancient Egypt back to life

I have long been interested in all things ancient Egyptian, but have not often read any novels with this as a background. The reason for this is the few I have read have been mostly very poorly written with unbelievable storyline's and little real factual content. This book is everything the others are not - an excellent story combined with a background that actually is believable. You can as good as feel the hot breeze on your face comming in from the desert, taste the cool water from the Nile, and so on, and so on...in short if you want a good story combined with a factual background, get it!

Authentic recreation of history, with a twist.

A murder mystery which, pleasantly, takes a non-traditional approach. The writing left me hearing, seeing and smelling ancient Eygpt. The characters had depth, even the victim, whose life was ended within the first couple of chapters. The main character was likeable, honest and yet had human foibles. I couldn't put this book down.

History + Mystery = Superb Entertainment

Lauren Haney has done an excellent job weaving multiple storylines of human interest with a compelling mystery set in 18th dynasty Egypt. The setting is so wonderfully integrated into the story that you feel yourself transported back through the ages. Highly recommended.

Hard-driving mystery set in ancient Egypt

This book is like "Hill Street Blues" set in ancient Egypt. The head of an Egyptian policy force has 5 days to track down the killer of a nobleman's son. Along the way, he discovers a plot to kill a powerful Kushite king. The setting is exotic, but the motives of each of the characters -- greed, power, lust -- are completely universal.
