Sinister Sands (Whispers of Atlantis #4)

Ptolemy, the new Satrap of Egypt, after Alexander the Great's death, has much on his mind--an internal threat to his rule, low harvest, difficulty in equipping and paying for an army, and increasing fear of being attacked by the many warring generals in Asia and Europe.

When he receives tantalizing news of a discovery that might change his fortunes, Ptolemy is thrilled that the gods finally smile upon him. Except, there's one problem, no one can find what this discovery speaks of.

He realizes that there might be someone who might the right person for the job.

Someone he tried to have killed.
