From the back:
"Who has dared to desecrate the sacred place of embalming with a murdered corpse?
Pharao Tutankhamun orders Lord Meren, his chief investigator, to find out quickly, before power-mad priests use the incident to undermine his royal authority.
Everyone is a suspect, for the body belongs to the notorious scribe Hormin, hated by all who knew him. However, Lord Meren is no mere courtier but the Eyes and Ears of the living god. In the terrifying Place of Anubis, where unquiet spirits dwell, in the sunstruck city of Thebes, where Hormin's sons and his beautiful concubine plot, and in the royal court, where intrigues abound, Lord Meren hunts his quarry, peeling back the secrets of nobles and slaves in his quest for the truth. But more important by far is Meren's responsibility to protect the young Pharao from his enemies - who are no further away than the length of a dagger..."

Picked up at the Chertsey Meet Up this evening
I usually like murder mysteries set in a different era, but this one somehow failed to captivate me. Might make a good TV series, I suppose.
I'll take it along to the Chertsey Meet Up this evening.

I enjoyed this! A lot of background of the culture and mores packed into a wonderful little mystery, that isn't as simple as it first seems. Thank you!
