A Hittite trader is killed and he is asked to help the police, who are burdened by the crowds assembled for a major religious feast. Then an auditor is murdered in the temple compound and that murder is added to his task when he realized that the methods are the same. A long tale involving Hittite politics and theft from the temple stores winds up with a wild chase under the very noses of royalty. I did feel that Bek was exceeding the foolishness of a Gothic heroine in wandering through strange streets alone after two attempts to kill him. ( ) A Thèbes, où la population et une foule de visiteurs se préparent à célébrer la fête donnée en l'honneur du dieu Amon, le lieutenant Bak retrouve ses fidèles policiers medjai et ses amis au port. Ils découvrent, sur une barge, le cadavre d'un marchand hittite sauvagement assassiné. Alors que Bak débute son enquête, le temple d'Amon est à son tour le théâtre d'un crime tout aussi odieux. Le scribe Ouserhet, haut fonctionnaire chargé des offrandes au Dieu suprême, est retrouvé mort, entouré de mystérieux papyrus calcinés... Onze jours, durant lesquels la fête déploiera ses fastes dans la ville en liesse : tel est le mince délai accordé au policier pour dénouer les fils d'une affaire ténébreuse, où se mêlent l'amour, la cupidité et l'ambition. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
From far and wide, they have come to the capital city of Waset for the opulent Feast of Opet-- sovereigns and supplicants, the pious and proud, gathering for the eleven-day-long revelries. While greeting friends and fellow Medjay officers at the bustling harbor, Lieutenant Bak is distracted by foul murder, the discovery of the body of a Hittite horse trader, his throat savagely cut. Bak has no authority to investigate what could be a simple matter of Hittite politics -- until similar murders occur within the sacred precinct of the Lord Amon. Though this city is not his own, Bak eagerly agrees to aid in the investigation. But his determined search for connections embroils him in a terrifying conspiracy that points to the court of Queen Hatshepsut herself. Untold others may be joining the ranks of the dead before the villain is done -- with Lieutenant Bak numbered among them. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
