King Tutankhamun has died without an heir, and the future of
Egypt lies in the hands of chief detective Rahotep.
Following the death of the boy king, Queen Ankhesenamun has but
one hope of keeping her enemies at bay: she must forge an alliance
with the Hittites, a new and powerful militant empire that
threatens Egypt's supremacy. To this end, she dispatches loyal
Rahotep--chief detective of the ancient capital's elite police
force--on a clandestine mission to persuade the Hittite king to
agree to a marriage between one of his sons and the widowed
Queen.
With the nefarious General Horemheb poised to use his army to
impose martial law on Egypt and a brutal new opium cartel emerging
within the criminal underworld, it will fall to Rahotep to prevent
the gathering forces of chaos from destroying Egypt's greatest
dynasty. But first he must confront his own demons if he is to save
his family from the terror that threatens them all.
