When Dr. Mary Wilson and the Prince of Shadows start having the same terrible nightmares, the Goddess Neith labours to discover their meaning.

Mary must rely on her skill as an archaeologist, as both sides work together to discover the location of the hidden Tomb of Horus. Within, they must unlock the secret Songs of the Osirian, and convince the Jackal King to awake from his eternal slumber. Foreword by Michael Jan Friedman New York Times bestselling author

Sir Laurence Dies is a murder mystery in the Agatha Christie style. It's a "whodunit" A story of intrigue, guile and red herrings, half a dozen suspects, and a murder to boot. Just what is the morose butler, Dawson, hiding behind that stone faced reserve? Why does Lady Agatha Smythe carry around an old photograph of her younger days, and what exactly is her relationship to Major John Heskith? Is Milly Gregson the meek girl she seems to be, and is Desmond DuPont's interest in her more than simply platonic? Is the debonair Doctor Jacob Powell the lady's man that local gossip suggests?It was never going to be an easy task to put this puzzle together when they don't have all the pieces, or any idea what the picture might be. However that's exactly what Doctor Straay and Chief Inspector Drake must do, if they intend to find the murderer of Sir Laurence Gregson; but can they work together to solve this murder, or will their antithetical differences on psychology and police work stop them before they even start...?
