In 523 BC, the Persian pharaoh Cambyses dispatched an army across Egypt's western desert to destroy the oracle at Siwa. Legend has it that somewhere in the middle of the Great Dune Sea his army was overwhelmed by a sandstorm and lost forever. Two and a half millennia later, a mutilated corpse is washed up on the banks of the Nile at Luxor, an antiques dealer is savagely murdered in Cairo, and a British archaeologist is found dead at the ancient necropolis of Saqqara. The incidents appear unconnected, but Inspector Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor police is not so sure...

I love this book. My family went to Egypt during Christmas 2018, and I think about that trip every day...the sand, the mysteries, the wind storms (yes, we witnessed one)— all of the imagery of this story took me back to Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, minarets, and mosques. An amazing canvas for the written word!!! And the narrator was superb!!!

Loved the book. Paul Sussman is a great story teller. Tragic loss would have liked to have had more from him

Great Book

It kept me entertained, but I will say sometimes when it jumped between characters and scenes I had to stop and think “Ok, who is this again?” Some of the comments from “the bad guy” were a little crass a little too TMI, and at times the narrator’s different voices would make me laugh. But, I liked it enough that I plan to continue reading his books.

I liked it, DL the next book in the series

The language in this book was shockingly horrible! I will not be purchasing any more Paul Susanna audible files or books in the future.

Not worth my time
