Recensione:

'Doherty evokes atmospheically the sounds, smells and texture of ancient Egypt. But he does not simply rely on an apparently encylclopedic familiarity with life along the Nile; he also creates a fiendish locked-room mystery and a solution as clever as the puzzle' Scotsman

'A gripping, engaging and highly enjoyable read... Highly recommended' Sherlock Holmes magazine

'All the glamour and glory of Ancient Egypt is brought breathtakingly back to life in this whodunit from the Land of the Pharaohs' Northern Echo

'Paul Doherty weaves an intricate story with clues littered among the pages. The build-up of more and more suspects is intriguing and the radical denouement exposes a much wider conspiracy than expected' Historical Novels Review

'This is another fine performance' Publishers Weekly

'Choked with bloody killings, confrontations, and betrayals, the story is gripping' Kirkus Reviews

'Paul Doherty weaves an intricate story with clues littered among the pages' The Historical Novels Review
