Product Description
When a priest dies in a mysterious fall from the top of a statue of Tutankhamun, many consider the death a fateful one for the boy-king and his reign. Indeed, the Hittites are already at Egypt's borders, and the enemies of the late pharaoh Akhenaten have transferred their implacable hatred to the young pharaoh. Lurking beneath the luxury of the court at Thebes lie malice, evil and murder. Not even Lord Meren - the 'eyes and ears' of Tutankhamun - can identify the plotters. But until the enemies of the fourteen-year-old pharaoh are destroyed, neither his body nor his soul is safe from their deadly poison...

This novel of murder and intrigue revolves around the court of Tutankhamun the young pharaoh of Egypt.
Egypt's enemies are harrying the borders, but the biggest threat to the country and the young king are from within.
A temple priest is found at the bottom of an enormous statue of the pharaoh, he had been working on a platform at the top of the statue. Did he fall or was he pushed. Lord Meren "the eyes and ears of the pharaoh" sends his son Kysen to investigate the matter. Shortly after another priest of higher rank is murdered.
What secret did they know that made them so dangerous they had to be killed?
Meren knows that there is much bitterness and unrest among the most important men who surround the pharaoh. This bitterness reverts back to the pharaoh Akhenaten, whom many regarded as a monster. Is Tutankhamun to be made to pay for the misdeeds of his ancestor.
This book is one of a series written by the author and featuring Lord Meren "the eyes and ears of the pharaoh."
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Lord Meren, again as in this series of books, is the eyes and ears of the great pharaoh, Tutankhamen. Murder, and mystery set him again in search of the instigators of an evil plot against the king by the powerful priests of Amon. His loyal son, Kysen and friends all enter into the picture, even a trusted friend who betrays him. Step by step, this books was even better than the last one I've read by Lynda Robinson, and up to the very end was exciting and kept me interested. I am reading the entire series - not in order and Lynda Robinson tells a tale of ancient Egypt in an exciting way.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book's unique storyline is enhanced by its setting in a time of great social upheaval and political intrigue. With an authentic setting, concise writing and a fast moving plot, it's as vivid a period piece as it is a solid mystery.
