Murder in the Place of Anubis is the first in Lynda S Robinson's Lord Meren series. Per SYKM, it was a finalist for the 1995 Macavity Award for Best First Novel. I really liked this series in DTB, and now apparently Open Road/Mysterious Press have gotten the e-rights and are cycling through putting them on sale. Woo-hoo for me!

Oh yeah, Anubis is $1.99 right now at Kindle and Kobo US, and discountable at Kobo.

Spoiler:

“This exceptional debut melds ancient Egyptian religious belief and practice with court intrigue to produce a riveting mystery.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

The body of a much-hated scribe has been found in the sacred place of embalming, and the resulting outrage could threaten the reign of Tutankhamun. So the boy king tasks his investigator, Lord Meren, to look into the crime. The quest will take Meren into the worlds of nobles, slaves, and schemers in the royal court—all while he fights to keep the teenaged pharaoh safe from those who would take advantage of this crisis . . .

“It’s always a pleasure to negotiate the treacherous corridors of power with Lord Meren.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Robinson’s research, both criminological and archaeological, serves her well.” —San Jose Mercury News

“A marvelous series.” —Historical Novel Society
