Blood and Sand
(2013)
Assassination is Ancient Egypt's second oldest profession - and The Lady Serpent is the kingdom's most skilled practitioner of its deadly arts.
But she is about to encounter the strangest request of her deadly career.
“I would like you to kill me.”
Those are the words uttered by a young woman suffering from complete memory loss. She cannot remember anything about who she is, or where she has come from. She just knows she has to die.
And when a soldier named Gahiji from The City of the Sun turns up under the request of the General, the most powerful person in the Kingdom, the Lady Serpent knows they are in real danger and must both flee that day.
Taking off in the middle of the night, they are on the run for their lives. But who is this
mysterious woman? What is her connection to the General? And why must she die?
The Lady Serpent quickly learns that she can trust no-one - and must solve the mystery of the woman's identity before it is too late.
'Blood and Sand' is a fast paced, historical murder mystery that brilliantly captures the atmosphere of ancient Egypt - as well as being an enthralling detective story. It is perfect for fans of Steven Saylor, Lindsey Davies and Simon Scarrow.
