The second book in the Amerotke series.
A rash of murders taxes the sharp mind of Amerotke, the chief judge of Egypt at the start of the turbulent reign of Hatusu, some 3,500 years ago, when the ancient Egyptian empire was at its peak. The killings, beginning at the Hall of the Underworld, a desert maze with an evil reputation, seem intended to disrupt Hatusu's reign as possibly the first woman to become Pharaoh Queen of Egypt. Because Hatusu is both young and beautiful, many in the royal circle are jealous of her rise to power. Amerotke, aided by his loyal and lecherous servant Shufoy, must stay alive and find a killer whose favored means are poisoned wines, burning oils and crocodile-infested waters.

Brilliant - an excellent mystery, wonderful characters, and beautifully deep in detail. Paul Doherty really is a master!

Off to the US via BookMooch.

I love this series. Getting this book from BookMooch was like getting a box of candy to enjoy very much. I PLANNED to keep this one, but the cover is loose so I may pass it on.
