Description
A world-famous museum diorama, Arab Courier Attacked by Lions, is vandalized in the middle of the night. The glass is smashed. The belly of the taxidermied camel is slit open. Police find bits of flesh and fibers in the sand below. The flesh is from an infant, the fibers from an oiled cloth used to mummify cadavers. The exhibit, created for the 1867 Paris World Exposition, features a sudden, ferocious attack by two Barbary lions on a Bedouin courier astride a camel crossing the Sahara Desert.
Przewalski is hired to uncover the macabre history of Arab Courier. Who is the camel driver—the Bedouin’s skull, skeleton and skin are mounted under his clothing? Who is the child—why was its mummified hand sewn into the camel’s belly. Is the vandalism connected to an apparent suicide of a brilliant museum archaeologist?
The Camel Driver, the third novel in the Harry Przewalski series, is the sequel to The Bone Field and Death Spoke.

“A fiercely intelligent crime drama, as emotionally sharp as it is inventive … Powerful prose … the terse, unsentimental phrasing of a detective story and poetical elegance.” ~ Kirkus Reviews
