02. A Face Turned Backward (1999)
Assigned to patrol the Nile’s river traffic for stolen elephant tusks, Lieutenant Bak, police commander in ancient Egypt, becomes the next potential victim of a sinister plot spawned by unbridled greed and a willingness to kill.
03. A Vile Justice (1999)
Four odd murders in ancient Egypt have vizier Lieutenant Bak of the Medjay police puzzled and asking whether it is the wrath of the gods or the work of human hands.
04. A Curse of Silence (2000)
A vile rumor sweeps across the desert like a swiftly gathering sandstorm: Queen Hatshepsut plans to disband much of her frontier army and transform its fortresses into storehouses. The arrival of Amonked–the Queen’s cousin and Storekeeper of Amon–at the city of Buhen convinces an uneasy Lieutenant Bak of the Medjay police that the whisperings that have alarmed the populace are true. Then, a day after Amonked inspects the local garrison and departs, a body is found stabbed in the house where he and his party rested. The slain man was a local prince, beloved by his people, so Bak travels upriver to join the caravan and investigate. Though nothing tangible connects Amonked and his people to the heinous act, Bak’s inquiry soon sheds a disturbing light on an inexplicable crime. For the clues suggest that twisted honor and vengeance lie at its root…and a shocking secret, protected by murder and silence, that could itself silence the truth–and Bak–for eternity.
05. A Place of Darkness (2001)
Some transgressions may never be forgiven — as Lieutenant Bak remains out of favor with the powers of Kemet. While in transit from his exile in Buhen to a new posting, the disgraced policeman stops at the capital in hopes of investigating a troubling case of relics plundered from ancient tombs and smuggled through the southern frontier. Instead, he is sent to the partially built memorial temple of the divine Queen Maatkare Hatshepsut, where a series of fatal accidents and whispers of a malign spirit are plaguing the construction effort. Can the thefts and these deaths somehow be connected? The clues are leading the ever-loyal investigator to a magnificent tomb. But this realm of the dead threatens to become Bak’s own place of burial when he must confront the source of the spectral malevolence.
06. A Cruel Deceit (2002)
From far and wide, they have come to the capital city of Waset for the opulent Feast of Opet — sovereigns and supplicants, the pious and proud, gathering for the eleven-day-long revelries. While greeting friends and fellow Medjay officers at the bustling harbor, Lieutenant Bak is distracted by foul murder, the discovery of the body of a Hittite horse trader, his throat savagely cut. Bak has no authority to investigate what could be a simple matter of Hittite politics — until similar murders occur within the sacred precinct of the Lord Amon. Though this city is not his own, Bak eagerly agrees to aid in the investigation. But his determined search for connections embroils him in a terrifying conspiracy that points to the court of Queen Hatshepsut herself. Untold others may be joining the ranks of the dead before the villain is done — with Lieutenant Bak numbered among them.
07. Flesh of the God (2003)
A proud officer in the service of Queen Hatshepsut, it was Lieutenant Bak’s great misfortune to lead his charioteers in a raid of a house of pleasure frequented by Egyptians of very high station. Reassigned for his transgressions, Bak is exiled to Buhen — a fortified city in the most desolate part of the Nile valley. Barely has he set foot in this nest of vipers when he discovers Nakht, Buhen’s capable commandant, slain with a dagger in his breast — and Nakht’s very beautiful, young wife covered with fresh blood. Bak’s carefully honed instinct makes him hesitate to condemn the frightened widow. Perhaps the man’s death was divine retribution for recent offenses directed toward the gods. Finding the truth in this terrible place will be as difficult as finding water in the heartless desert that surrounds it — while more death may be far too easy to come by.
08. A Path of Shadows (2003)
The Gods blessed Lieutenant Bak, head of the Medjay police, with a rare brilliance — which is why he is the one to whom his commander turns in a time of need. The explorer Minnakht has vanished into the vast and merciless Egyptian desert — or perhaps has strayed perilously close to Queen Maatkare Hatshepsut’s well-guarded turquoise mines — and before Bak sails north on a new assignment he is to seek out the missing man. But evil is traveling with him and his Medjays in the caravan they accompany eastward. Someone — or something — is responsible for the strange rash of deaths that is rapidly thinning the numbers of their fellow travelers. A straightforward search for a missing adventurer becomes a twisted knot of treachery and blood — one that threatens to strangle the life from Bak and his men and leave them buried for all eternity beneath the blistering sands.
