The second in a trilogy of Ancient Egyptian crime novels. When a second skeleton is found floating upright at the bottom of the sea, Queen Cleopatra charges Tetisheri, her new Eye of Isis, with the task of finding out who these men were, when they were murdered, and, above all, why.

After a party of hunters stumbles upon a desiccated human hand clutching an incredibly rare 'double eagle' gold coin, Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell is led to the broken remains of a World War II-era transport plane emerging from the face of a calving glacier. Who was on the ill-fated flight? What were they doing? For some sixty years the glacier has held its secrets close. Seventy-four-year-old Newenham matriarch Lydia Tompkins might have had the answers Campbell is looking for, but she's dead, murdered in her own home. And she won't be the last to die as a once-buried secret returns to haunt the present.

Newenham is an ice-bound fishing town with a six-bed jail and a saloon that does double-duty as a courtroom. It's a wide-enough patch to warrant a state police presence, though, and Alaskan State Trooper Liam Campbell is it. Newly promoted to corporal, Campbell is slowly making a home for himself in Newenham. With just DUIs and domestic disputes to disturb the peace, life is relatively tranquil - for Newenham - until Campbell's girlfriend, Bush pilot Wyanet Chouinard, delivering a shipment of mail to a remote post office, finds the postmistress murdered. At first it seems a random assault; but then a woman disappears after her husband is killed at their gold mining claim. When Campbell connects the crimes with a 20-year-old string of missing women, he knows he's facing a serial killer. And the hunt is on for a murderer who has vanished into the Alaskan wilderness...

Newenham: an ice-bound fishing town with a six-bed jail and a saloon that does double-duty as a courtroom. It's a wide-enough patch to warrant a state police presence, though, and Alaskan State Trooper Liam Campbell is it. Campbell is hardly here by choice. He's been banished to the last police outpost in America, his career deep frozen after a fatal mistake occurred on his watch. Three months in and living on a leaky gill-netter moored in Bristol Bay, Campbell is brooding on how to put down roots on dry land again and rekindle his relationship with bush pilot Wyanet Chouinard - who won his heart long ago, and then broke it - when a fishing boat is found adrift, burned down to the waterline. Aboard, Liam discovers seven charred bodies: a family of local fishers and their crew. A terrible accident? Or a cover-up of something worse? And then a young archaeological assistant is gruesomely murdered at a remote dig site. With eight dead, even for Newenham, things are getting out of hand - and Liam is left following a trail of false leads, false confessions, and false hopes.
