Heart Of The Nile

London, 1893 - deadly doings are afoot in the British Museum and private enquiry agents Cyrus Barker and Thomas Llewelyn must unravel a mystery involving a mummy, a giant ruby and a murder, in Will Thomas's Heart of the Nile. Cyrus Barker, along with his former assistant and now partner Thomas Llewelyn, is the premier enquiry agent in all of 19th century London, and beyond. They've thwarted the designs of villains and crooks off all sorts, helped Scotland Yard crack their most challenging cases, and worked for the Her Majesty's Government at the very highest levels. But nothing has been quite as challenging and dangerous as the latest case that comes to find them. In 1893, a volunteer at the British Museum makes a startling discovery. When examining a mummy in the museum's collection, he discovers there is a giant ruby in the shape of a heart buried in the chest of the mummy. Even more startling, the mummy might well be Cleopatra. The following morning, the volunteer is found floating in the Thames and the ruby has gone missing. Hired by the victim’s wife to learn the truth behind his death, Barker and Llewelyn find themselves in the crosshairs - now they must avoid a violent street gang, a ruthless collector, and the British Museum itself in order to find the killer and safeguard the gem.

Meryt wants to hate the man who took her father's place... Ancient Egypt. The Nile is rising, and in the summer heat, thousands of workers toil at Pharaoh's command to raise the Great Pyramid. Meryt's father trained her in his healing arts, so when an injury threatens his life, it seems only natural for her to take his position on the team. But the Royal Vizier brings in a replacement, Nakht. Now her family faces ruin, and Meryt wants to hate him. His dark eyes and wicked smile speak to her lonely heart, but can she trust him? It doesn't take long for Nakht to realize that Meryt's passion for healing, and her skills, are the equal of his own. Yet nothing he does seems to get past the walls around her heart, until he puts his reputation and his life at risk to help her father. Doing so makes him, and Meryt, targets for the Court politicians and Temple priests who jealously guard their power and their secrets. Will they poison the growing romance between Meryt and Nakht before it even blossoms?

In 1859, at age fourteen, Florence Szász stood before a room full of men and waited to be auctioned to the highest bidder. But slavery and submission were not to be her destiny: Sam Baker, a wealthy English gentleman and eminent adventurer, was moved by compassion and an immediate, overpowering empathy for the young woman, and braved extraordinary perils to help her escape. Together, Florence and Sam -- whose love would remain passionate and constant throughout their lives -- forged into literally uncharted territory in a glorious attempt to unravel a mysterious and magnificent enigma called Africa. A stunning achievement, To the Heart of the Nile is an unforgettable portrait of an unforgettable woman: a story of discovery, bravery, determination, and love, meticulously reconstructed through journals, documents, and private papers, and told in the inimitable narrative style that has already won Pat Shipman resounding international acclaim.
