Used book – The Judge of Egypt, Volume 1: The Assassinated Pyramid, Christian Jacq

An incorruptible man in the land of the Pharaohs... As every year, on the first day of spring, while all of Egypt honors its ancestors, Ramses II prepares to enter the Giza pyramid alone, where the will of the gods is kept. Without it, the Pharaoh would lose all legitimacy and be forced to abdicate. At the same time, Judge Pazair relentlessly pursues his investigation into the mysterious death of two guards tasked with watching over the Sphinx of Giza.

The young judge has sworn to uncover the whole truth, at the peril of his life, ready to sacrifice his love for the beautiful Neferet...
