Well, now I've noticed that there are three additional e-book only titles in this series: City of Lies, City of the Sea, and City of Desire. These are published by Endeavour Press, which seems to do old backlist titles and newer continuation titles. Details for these "semi-self-pubbed" books are in this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=3242134

I've read the first three in the series back in DTB days, and enjoyed them, and am a good chunk of the way through City of Lies, which is on US Kindle Countdown right now, at $0.99 for about 4 more days. I'm enjoying it so far (I REALLY like historical mysteries, so YMMV), and wanted to list it while it's still on sale.

Egypt, the 18th Dynasty.

After the death of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Egypt must make the difficult decision of choosing a new ruler promptly.

Ay, a powerful and influential politician has taken to the throne and must protect his country from the resentful Horemheb, leader of the army, who craves power and will do anything to overthrow Ay.

Huy, the scribe who unwillingly quit his profession to become a private detective, has been appointed once again by Ay.

Having achieved his ultimate goal, he is now undecided on his next step - should he marry the charming physician, Senseneb?

As their relationship progresses, Huy is faced with the tough responsibility of protecting Ay when Horemheb and his followers suddenly attack the premises.

On the other side of Egypt, Tutankhamun’s widow, Ankhsi lives in solitude to grieve her husband’s death. Horemheb ultimately decides to use her as a hostage and Huy must decide who he will protect first – Ankhsi, whose husband he served for years, or Ay, who he works for now?

Will Huy act quickly when Horemheb arrives in order to save Ay and the future of his country whilst also protecting Ankhsi?

‘City of Lies’ is the riveting new thriller from the pen of master story-teller Anton Gill that follows the adventures of Huy in ancient Egypt.
