City of Dreams The Second Egyptian Mystery

Huy (first seen in City of the Horizon) was once a scribe in the pharaoh's court. But now he's lost his job to palace politics, and been reduced to freelance problem-solving ? working, essentially, as the world's first private eye. And that work has to be kept very quiet if he's to avoid attracting the notice of the secret police. ?Quiet? could be tricky, because Huy's latest case shows every indication of becoming extremely high-profile. A serial killer has been stalking wealthy young women in Thebes, and with every clue that Huy uncovers it becomes apparent that the killer is a person of terrifying power and influence. ?Huy goes down the mean streets of ancient Egypt in a fine, swaggering style, ? said the Glasgow Herald, but those streets are getting meaner by the day.Gill, Anton is the author of 'City of Dreams The Second Egyptian Mystery', published 2006 under ISBN 9781933397306 and ISBN 1933397306.
