Bek is despatched to solve a crime away from his home base at Buhen. In the border town of Abu five murders have occurred within the governor's household. It seems obvious that the governor may be the next intended victim, but he is reluctant to respond to Bek's questions about an incident in the past that may provide an explanation. ( ) Dans la cinquième année de règne d'Hatchepsout, une compagnie de lanciers disparaît lors d'une terrible tempête de sable. Cinq ans plus tard, sur l'île d'Éléphantine, une série de meurtres frappe la résidence du gouverneur de province, que tout désigne comme l'ultime victime. Bak, le chef de la police de Bouhen, est appelé sur place pour mener l'enquête. Très vite, il discerne un lien avec les tragiques événements survenus au cœur du désert, sur lesquels semble peser un lourd silence. Et tandis que sa propre vie se trouve menacée, il traque un assassin résolu à poursuivre jusqu'au bout une implacable vengeance. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Evil runs rampant through the grand abode of Djehuty, the much despised governor of Abu. Four deaths -- each exactly ten days apart -- have occurred in and around the powerful functionary's premises: an expert swimmer drowned...a spearman accidentally impaled on his own weapona sergeant of the guard found with a dagger through his breast...a young officer trampled by a horse gone mad. Lieutenant Bak of the Medjay police fears for his own life and for the safety of his men. But the vizier has requested that this deadly puzzle be investigated, and it is Bak's duty to serve. Could this unstaunched violence be the retribution of the gods for a long-past, yet still-remembered tragedy? Bak is not sure who will ultimately be revealed as slayer -- be he human or divine -- when a disturbing cache of dark, well-protected secrets lies open at his feet. But there is one thing of which the dedicated policeman can be certain: if a killer is true to his pattern, another will die this day. No library descriptions found. |
