When Cleopatra's most beloved actress disappears, her new Eye of Isis
must solve a case that will lead to the darkest corners of Alexandria.
From the palaces of Alexandria reigns Cleopatra – seventh of her
name, avatar of the goddess Isis, ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt –
surrounded by riches untold. Through the streets of her great city
bustle scholars and sailors, politicians and priests. For those with
the means, it is a comfortable life. But not all are invited to share
in the wealth of Egypt's first city. For the peasants and farmers,
their lives lie in the hands of the gods and the harvest. Unless, that
is, they can find other methods to feed their families. Other, less
savoury methods. When Herminia, one of Alexandria's most beloved
actresses, disappears on the eve of a great performance, Cleopatra
sets Tetisheri, her Eye, to investigate. In her search for the truth,
Tetisheri will uncover a mystery that will take her to the city's
darkest corners... Reviews for Dana Stabenow 'Stabenow brings
