Murder in the Place of Anubis

Lynda S. Robinson

1994

A Lord Meren novel.

"Who has dared to desecrate the sacred place of embalming with a murdered corpse? Pharaoh Tutankhamun orders Lord Meren, his chief investigator, to find out quickly, before power-mad priests use the incident to undermine his royal authority. Everyone is a suspect, for the body belongs to the notorious scribe Hormin, hated by all who knew him. However, Lord Meren is no mere courtier but the Eyes and Ears of the living god. In the terrifying Place of Anubis, where unquiet spirits dwell, in the sunstruck city of Thebes, where Hormin's sons and his beautiful concubine plot, and in the royal court, where intrigues abound, Lord Meren hunts his quarry, peeling back the secrets of nobles and slaves in his quest for the truth. But more important by far is Meren's responsibility to protect the young Pharaoh from his enemies who are no farther away than the length of a dagger."

Murder at the God's Gate

Lynda S. Robinson

1995

A Lord Meren novel.

"When a priest dies in a mysterious fall from atop a statue of Tutankhamun, many consider the death a fateful one for the fourteen-year-old pharaoh and his reign. Indeed, the Hittites are already at Egypt's borders, and the enemies of the late heretic pharaoh Akhenaten have transferred their implacable hatred to the young pharaoh. Concealed by the luxury of the court at Thebes lie viciousness, evil, and murder. Not even Lord Meren--the confidential inquiry agent who must see to the boy king's safety--can name the master plotters. But until the enemies of the living god are destroyed, neither his body nor his soul is safe from their deadly poison."

Murder at the Feast of Rejoicing

Lynda S. Robinson

1996

A Lord Meren novel.

"The small group gathered at Lord Meren's country house to celebrate his homecoming is soon to become yet smaller. Beautiful Anhai, Meren's cousin-in-law, falls victim to murder--an act of violence as inscrutable as the sphinx. True, she had myriad lovers and a scorpion tongue, but why was her body arranged so meticulously, as if for sleep? The most dreadful possibility is that the crime has to do with Lord Meren's awesome undercover mission for the pharaoh, for which his feast of rejoicing is in part a cover. This mission cannot, must not, fail. Ruthlessly stripping bare the deepest secrets of the nest of cobras who are his nearest relatives, Meren finds the thread that leads to the truth and the unmasking of a shocking crime in the court of the living god."

Eater of Souls

Lord Meren, the Eyes and Ears of Pharaoh, is certain the queen was murdered, and that the hand responsible belongs to a member of the royal court - a person who is still close to the presence of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Meren's questions threaten far too many people of power and bring the possibilities of vengeance and death to his very doorstep, placing the lives of his daughters and son in peril. Priests, courtiers, and others would like nothing more than to see Meren fall...and it appears that the gods, too, are toying with him as the royal city of Memphis is terrorized by a series of horrific slayings committed by the Devourer, the eater of souls, one of the most fearsome of the gods in the Egyptian pantheon."
