Eater Of Souls: A Lord Meren Mystery (The Lord Meren Mystery Series)

The Story

How did Nefertiti, wife of Akhenaten, die? Lord Meren, the Eyes and Ears of Pharaoh, is certain the queen was murdered, and that the hand responsible belongs to a member of the royal court - a person who is still close to the presence of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Meren's questions threaten far too many people of power and bring the possibilities of vengeance and death to his very doorstep, placing the lives of his daughters and son in peril. Priests, courtiers, and others would like nothing more than to see Meren fall...and it appears that the gods, too, are toying with him as the royal city of Memphis is terrorized by a series of horrific slayings committed by the Devourer, the eater of souls, one of the most fearsome of the gods in the Egyptian pantheon.
