In 523 BC, the Persian emperor Cambyses dispatched an army to destroy the oracle of Amun. Legend has it that the army was overwhelmed by a sandstorm and destroyed. Then a mutilated body washed ashore in modern Luxor brings old secrets and new dangers for Inspector Khalifa.
Paul Sussman was born in 1968. He received a history degree from Cambridge University. He began his professional writing career as feature writer and film editor for The Big Issue Magazine. He also wrote a weekly column entitled In the News. Some of the columns were collected in his first book, Death by Spaghetti. He wrote primarily fiction books including The Lost Army of Cambyses, The Last Secret of the Temple, The Hidden Oasis, and The Labyrinth of Osiris. As a freelance journalist, he also wrote articles for The Guardian, The Independent, The Evening Standard, The Daily Express, CNN.com, and other publications. He worked extensively as a field archaeologist, particularly in Egypt. In 1998, he worked with the Amarna Royal Tombs Project, which was the first expedition to dig new ground in the Valley of the Kings since the discovery of Tutankhamun in 1922. He died after suffering a ruptured aneurysm on May 31, 2012 at the age of 45.
