[Norman Conquest 01] Wolves in Armour (60 page)

Murder in the Palace

Prince Ra-em hotep, found dead in his apartment in the Memphis Palace and Pharaoh Ramesses demands answers. Unexpectedly inveigled into the investigation of the death, Nikolas soon has to use all his wiles to preserve the lives of himself and his assistants from the machinations of the plotters, and to both solve the murder and assist Pharaoh Ramesses to stave off rebellion.

The Tomb Robbers

Nikolas is presented with artifacts originating in the Valley of the Kings and, on advising
Ramesses of the problem, is appointed to both find the perpetrators and recover the stolen treasures. The investigation proves both difficult and dangerous, with Nikolas travelling as far as Damascus in search of clues. Those responsible hide their tracks well and Nikolas has to take extraordinary steps to ensure that justice is served.

The Memphis Murders

A sadistic serial killer is at large in Memphis. Speed is essential as young victims are raped and butchered at each new moon and full moon. Nikolas and his associates enjoy the assistance of the gods, but struggle to solve the case before the next victim dies- and before Nikolas’ own family join the ranks of the dead.
