About this listen

 From the best-selling author of The Lost Army of Cambyses, the new Inspector Khalifa thriller.

When the body of hotel owner Piet Jansen is discovered amid the ruins of an archaeological site by the Nile, it looks like a routine investigation for Inspector Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor Police. But the more he learns about Jansen, the more he is reminded of the brutal murder, some years earlier, of an Israeli woman at Karnak for which he always suspected the wrong man was convicted. Ignoring the objections of his superiors, Khalifa re-opens the case, but to do so, he finds he's obliged to team up with a bigoted, hard-drinking Israeli detective.

Critic reviews

"The intelligent reader's answer to The Da Vinci Code." (Independent)
All stars

I thought that this was a good Yarn, it whilled away the time when travelling to and from work in an acceptable manner.

Plot was good, but at times if you were not concentrating could be lost a little so there were one or two times when I had to rewind just to check where I had got to and why I did not understand what had happened.

Enough twists in the plot to keep you interested and guessing till almost the end. I suspect this has been written with one hopeful eye on the movie industry as I can imagine it translating well into a Indianna Jones/Lara Croft type film with enough antagonism between the police officers to add the dramatic interest as the plot unfolds.

A good yarn

Brilliant and very topical book and a brilliant reader to compliment it. I usually only listen to books when driving - I had to continue with this one on my ipod at home.

Great story. I liked it enormously. Would certainly look for more from the same author.

Very good book

about the use of bad language. The author had a shortage of adjectives and used the F word far too frequently, much more than was necessary for the plot.This was unfortunate because the plot was excellent and I enjoyed moving backwards and forwards between the centuries and the different places, but I DID NOT enjoy the expletives. I found these totally unnecessary and if I had been warned beforehand would not have purchased it. I am not narrow minded but enough is enough of anything.

would have liked a warning
