Book Synopsis
After the death of her husband Pharoh Tuthmosis II, Hatusu has confounded her critics by winning a great battle against the Mitanni. Aided by her lover, Senenmut, she is determined that all sections of Egyptian society should accept her as the first Pharaoh-Queen of Egypt - an acceptance that needs the favour and support of the priests. When a spate of killings takes place in the Divine Temple of Horus, the naturally superstitious priests interpret this as a sign of the Gods'' disapproval of Hatusu''s rule of Egypt. The royal city turns once again to respected judge Amerotke to find the truth.

Trade Review
Praise for Paul Doherty: 'Vitality in the landscape...angst in the mystery, it's Peters minus the herbs but plus a few crates of sack * Oxford Times *
Absolutely superb * CADS *
The best of its kind since Ellis Peters * Time Out *
I really like these medieval whodunnits * Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller *
Wholly excellent, this is one of those books you hate to put down * Prima *
If you like the Paul Doherty style you will enjoy this hugely. The pace never flags and despite all this larger-than-life flamboyance Doherty's Egypt has the ring of truth about it. Doherty has done his homework well and it shows * Historical Review *
