Murder at the Pyramids - The captivating historical whodunnit set in Egypt

Jim Eldridge

Sinopsis

'The plotting is excellent, with admirable narrative drive . an engaging and entertaining read' Historical Novels Review
January 1901. Abigail and Daniel Wilson, often lauded as 'The Museum Detectives', are on their way to the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. Their explorations of the pyramid, including the Robbers' Tunnel, take a very sinister turn when they come upon the dead body of a man who has been brutally garrotted. Investigations by the local police reveal him to be Simeon McGruder, a wealthy American who is financing an excavation of the pyramids. When Daniel and Abigail return to Cairo they are asked by the American Embassy if they can take on the case, but they have a difficult path to tread as they try to keep different factions onside: the British and American authorities, the puppet Egyptian Government and officials, while at the same time facing lies and deviousness from McGruder's associates and friends.

The Sound of Her Breathing

Holly von Bonin

In this Thriller the lines blurring between fear and reality. The rain came down in sheets, hammering the roof of the car like a thousand tiny fists. Emily Grayson sat motionless in the driver's seat, her hands trembling on the steering wheel, her breath fogging the windshield in shallow, uneven bursts. She didn't dare wipe it away. The condensation was her shield, blurring the world outside—the world that had just shifted beneath her feet like a fault line cracking open.
