This prequel takes us to Beks first case when he has newly arrived in Buhan and the commander under whom he is to serve is stabbed to death in his own quarters. Regular readers willsoon intuit that the commander's foreign wife, who is a prime suspect, is the beautiful foreign woman beloved by Bek referred to in earlier books. Bek and his Medjays are distrusted and disliked, the scribe left in charge of the fort is eager for a quick solution to the murder, but attacks on Bek make it obvious that more is involved than a marital quarrel.

Lt. Bek is in Waset, the capital of Kemet. 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.

I got a bit tired of Lt. Bek dodging landslides--once per book is probably enough for any given form of threat. He has also almost drowned more in this series than seems reasonable, even considering that the Nile is the backbone of Egypt.

The Queen sends a cousin to inspect border forts and determine whether they are necessary. The army and population are alarmed by the prospect of being uprooted. A minor local king is killed in the building in which the inspector is lodged and Bek must investigate, accompanying the inspection. Further complications arise when local desert tribes unite under a charismatic leader to raid the caravan.
