Description
The Holy City.
Ancient Egypt.
The Pharaoh Akhenaten is planning a lavish banquet.
But a poisoner is at work.
With victims ranging from a singer to a tomb carver, the most lethal assasin in the land - Lady Serpent - has to find out how the murders are being carried out and who is behind them.
And she has to find the antidote - if there is one.
Why?
Because Lady Serpent has herself been poisoned...
In a desperate race against time, she must solve the mystery of the 'Poison Seed'.
Or else die trying.
'Poison Seed' is a fast-moving, historical murder mystery that brilliantly captures the atmosphere of ancient Egypt - as well as being an enthralling detective story. It is perfect for fans of Steven Saylor, Lindsey Davies and Simon Scarrow.
'A classic murder mystery' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'.
James Goss has written three Torchwood novels, a Doctor Who novel, and two radio plays. His Doctor Who audiobook Dead Air won Best Audiobook 2010. James also spent seven years working on the BBC's official Doctor Who website and co-wrote the website for Torchwood Series One. His books Dead of Winter and First Born were both nominated for the 2012 British Fantasy Society Awards.
