Description: As the capital city of Waset fill with people for the Feast of Opet, police Lieutenant Bak and his Medjay officers are distracted by the discovery of the savaged body of a Hittite horse trader.

Bak's investigation soon embroils him in a conspiracy that soon points to Queen Hatshepsut herself.
