Pharaoh Tuthmosis II is coming home victorious from war in the Nile Delta -- and he expects a hearty welcome. But instead of a parade, murder greets him within the hour of his docking. At the sound of ringing trumpets, the pharaoh falls dead before the statue of the sun god, Amun-Ra, while wounded doves circle overhead, a black omen for his people. Now his widow Hatusu and the Chief Judge must find a killer covering his tracks with the hot desert sands of ancient Egypt...

My first book by this author - well-written, and excellent research into the time period.

1st in Doherty's ancient Egypt series.
