Having discovered a monstrous conspiracy to overthrow the pharaoh, Ramses the Great, Judge Pazair has been deported for a crime he did not commit and sentenced to a painful death. But the conspirators have reckoned without the love of Neferet, the beautiful doctor Pazair has just married, and the courage of Suit, his friend with the hot head and the generous heart.
Together, Neferet and Suti attempt to rescue Pazair from the hellish prison camp where he's being held, so that he can resume his investigation. Who murdered the veteran guards of the Great Sphinx? Who violated the Great Pyramid and stole the Testament of the Gods, which guarantees the pharaoh's legitimacy? Who killed Pazair's spiritual master?
Combining historical fact with a potent imagination to create a compelling novel of intrigue and suspense, 'Secrets Of The Desert' is the second volume in Christian Jacq's brilliant new trilogy, 'The Judge Of Egypt'.
