Description
An Egyptian king dies in exile after a lifetime of scandal and excess. An older woman makes a deathbed confession to her son. It triggers a heart-stopping chase with deadly consequences.
All Si wanted was to say goodbye to his beloved mother. But, the words - whispered in his ear with her last breath - shake his world to the core. Helpless to disobey her dying wish, Si embarks upon a journey to his ancestral home in Egypt. The winding streets of the City of the Dead conceal many dangers. His mother's enemies are everywhere and will not hesitate to kill to keep their shady dealings hidden.
Si's mission? He must find his long-lost half-sister - conceived in a covert affair with the infamous King Farouk himself.
Before they both end up just another Egyptian tomb.
Advance Praise
"Adler paints vivid, raw pictures of the settings he describes. Egypt is shown with no frills attached, and his descriptions are so strong that I felt as if I could actually imagine myself there in this exact setting." -- Forever Lost in Literature
"An introspective action-packed mystery" -- Amazon Reviewer
"Mr.Adler is a masterful storyteller of many genres, from spies to laugh out loud humour. But all of his books have three things in common: immaculate writing, excellently observed character and an urgency which makes the reader unable to stop turning the pages until the last word. Mother Nile is a thriller with all of this combined with the heady, exotic scenes, sounds and scents of Egypt." -- Goodreads Reviewer
