Synopsis: Freya Hannan arrives in Egypt for the funeral of her elder sister Alex, a desert explorer who has lived in the Middle East for the past fifteen years. Recently diagnosed with a degenerative neurological condition, Alex has taken her own life. Freya is met at Luxor Airport by a colleague of her sister's, who drives her the 515 kms to Dakhla Oasis where Alex lived. Only one other non-Egyptian is present at the funeral: Professor Flinders 'Flin' Brodie, 45 - tall, rugged, handsome - a world authority on pre-dynastic Egypt. The funeral over, Freya spends the next few days sorting through her sister's possessions and finding out more about her suicide. As she does so, she becomes increasingly uneasy.
When a Bedouin turns up at Alex's home with the objects they have found in the desert, explaining that she had promised to pay them for news of any unusual remains - especially Soviet remains - discovered out in the western wilderness, Freya realizes that it is not only her sister's death that raises questions, but her life as well.Review:
"The Hidden Oasis is a rip-roaring gem of a read....You are in for a real treat!" -Raymond Khoury, author of The Last Templar "Another winner from Paul Sussman--hands down one of the best writers of international suspense in the business. Told with authority and style, excitement melds with adventure--you can feel the scorching desert heat and the chapping, acrid winds. The Hidden Oasis offers bone chilling thrills, a flair for the macabre, and off-the-charts suspense. Superb."--Steve Berry, author of The Charlemagne Pursuit "The Hidden Oasis is that rarest of literary entities: an intelligent, compelling, beautifully written thriller. You will enjoy every page of this breathtaking ride--and the secret at the heart of it will knock the top of your head off."--William Bernhardt, author of Capitol Offense "The Hidden Oasis evokes a lost world of primordial myth that men have sought since the very dawn of history--the twist: this time, the seeker is a female mountain climber! Amidst non-stop action--and literal cliffhangers--Paul Sussman again convinces us that there is nothing boring about the lost worlds of archeology." -Katherine Neville, author of The Fire
