The Samarkand solution

The governor is dead! While vacationing in the treacherous city of On, Magister Setne Inhetep -- personal wizard-priest to the Pharaoh and part-time detective -- stumbles upon a scene of murder by magic at the highest levels of government. With suspects ranging from the high priest of Set to a consortium of merchants and wizards from across the world, Inhetep must piece together the mystery before more luminaries are killed in a plot that threatens the Triple Kingdom of Ægypt!
