Egypt, the 18th Dynasty.
Huy was a scribe during Akhenten’s reign before being forced to quit his profession and become the world’s first private eye.
He needs to work discreetly to avoid attracting attention of the secret police. But working with a low profile could be tricky, because his latest case has every indication of becoming a huge, high profile one.
Someone in ancient Thebes is killing young wealthy girls, quickly, efficiently and silently.
So much so that without Huy the Scribe’s natural forensic talent, no one would realise that they had even been murdered.
Together with the policeman Merymose, Huy begins to search for the murderer, realising the serial killer must be a person of terrifying power and influence…
Can he find the killer without attracting too much attention to himself?
‘City of Dreams’ is a gripping Egyptian thriller from master of the genre Anton Gill.
