T. Lee Harris has given us the gift of a new Sitehuti and Nefer-Djenou-Bastet book just in time for a last minute gift (to yourself, perhaps?).

At the end of the events surrounding the Heb Sed, all young scribe Sitehuti wanted to do was grab his cat and retreat to his family home in the Place of Truth, the workers’ village for the Great Place, the Royal necropolis. That didn’t happen. Now, with the funeral and burial of Prince Amunhotep looming, he gets his wish — sort of.

The Prince’s murder brings many changes. Among those is Sitehuti’s temporary appointment as Royal Scribe in charge of the burial. However, all is not peaceful in the necropolis. Tombs are being robbed. People are disappearing — among the vanished is one of Captain Djedmose’s Royal Medjay Guards.

Things are also amiss at Mansion of Millions of Years, Ramesses II’s sprawling funerary complex and administrative center on the west bank of the river. To the Pharaoh and Crown Prince, the solution is simple: send Sitehuti and Nefer-Djenou-Bastet to solve the mysteries.

Captain Djedmose disagrees. Magic Cat or no, he wants Sitehuti as far away from danger as possible.

But IS it possible?
