'Agatha Christie's most ingenious thriller'
Seeking peace after her husband's death, the Ka-priest's daughter Renisenb returns to her father's house on the banks of the Nile. But beneath the calm surface of his prosperous household lurk greed, lust and hate. When the grisly death of the beautiful and venomous concubine Nofret is dismissed as fate, Renisenb becomes increasingly convinced that the source of evil lurks within – and watches as the family's passions explode in murder!
As the wife of an eminent archaeologist, Agatha Christie took part in several expeditions to the Middle East. Drawing upon this experience and exhaustive research, she wrote this ingenious serial killer mystery set in ancient Egypt 4000 years ago. Though unlike any of her other novels, it still end with a climax which few will anticipate.
