"When Cleopatra's most beloved actress disappears, her new Eye of Isis must solve a case that will lead to the darkest corners of Alexandria"-- Provided by publisher.
Cleopatra--seventh of her name, avatar of the goddess Isis, ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt--is surrounded by riches untold. It is a comfortable life. But not all are invited to share in the wealth of Alexandria, Egypt's first city. For the peasants and farmers, their lives lie in the hands of the gods and the harvest. Unless, that is, they can find other, less savory, methods to feed their families. When Herminia, one of Alexandria's most beloved actresses, disappears on the eve of a great performance, Cleopatra sets Tetisheri, her Eye, to investigate. The investigation will uncover a mystery that will lead to the city's darkest corners. -- adapted from jacket
