2001In 334 B. C. Alexander the Great has decided to add Persia to his conquests, but finds his inner circle beset with intrigue and his own divine personage in peril as spies and murderers stalk the tents of his army in this fast-paced page-turner. The young ruler summons his childhood friend, Telamon, to ferret out the identity of the mysterious Naihpat, suspected to be the force behind the wave of deaths. A physician who learned deductive reasoning studying with Aristotle, Telamon reluctantly accepts the duty. Freeing the spunky redhead Cassandra from the slave pens to act as his assistant, he quickly encounters killings accomplished by Celtic knife and club, poison and pushes from cliffs even two deaths that occur in "locked rooms, " that is, tightly sewn tents with Alexander's guards posted at the only entrance. And with each victim is found a scrap of parchment bearing cryptic warnings taken from the Iliad and Euripides. The prolific Doherty, author of The Mask of the Ra and the sizable historical mystery series about Hugh Corbett and Brother Athelstan, deftly handles the period details, from day-to-day life in the camp to the inner courts of the Persian King of Kings, bringing in a vast cast (many soon to die) as Alexander moves across the Hellespont toward the epic battle of the Granicus. Fans of ancient historical mysteries will find themselves in superbly practiced hands. ; 1.07 x 9.54 x 6.37 Inches; 320 pages

2018ril. 1846. Dopo aver viaggiato per settimane verso Ovest, in direzione della California, un gruppo di pionieri si trova di fronte a un bivio. Per il leader della spedizione, George Donner, è il momento di fare una scelta. Davanti a lui, infatti, due strade che conducono alla stessa destinazione. Una è già nota come una pista sicura, ma dell'altra, ancora sconosciuta, si vocifera che potrebbe essere più corta. La decisione di Donner avrà ripercussioni sulle vite di tutti coloro che sono in viaggio con lui. Il caldo cocente del deserto sta per lasciare il posto a venti pungenti e a un freddo acuto in grado di congelare il bestiame. Spinti verso la follia dalla fatica e dalle privazioni, i membri del gruppo dovranno lottare per la sopravvivenza. Mentre i bambini cominciano misteriosamente a scomparire. Ma la minaccia più pericolosa che i pionieri dovranno affrontare non è la furia della natura, bensì qualcosa di più primitivo e feroce che si sta risvegliando.
