Royal tombs have been plundered, temple girls are missing, and General Suten has died mysteriously on his roof by a sackful of vipers. Pharaoh Queen Hatusu will not tolerate the insults and threats so she has put her Chief Judge, Lord Amerotke, in pursuit of the truth. The stakes are high. The guilty will die because of their crimes and, in their attempt to escape justice, have sent assassins after the judge. The Assassins of Isis by P.C. Doherty is the fifth book in an exciting series set in ancient Egypt. Doherty is a prolific author of numerous historical mystery series that range from ancient times to the Renaissance and includes the very popular Hugh Corbett Medieval Mysteries.
