Gordianus the Finder and his ailing wife Bethesda leave the relative safety of Rome to travel to Egypt-Bethesda's homeland-in search of a cure for her enduring, mysterious illness. Arriving just as the war between Caesar and Pompey is reaching its conclusion on its shores, Gordianus is imme-diately thrust into the middle of the struggle between Ptolemy and his sister Cleopatra. As Caesar's involvement with Cleopatra grows and Gordianus's wife disappears into the waters of the treacherous Nile, Gordianus is confronted by a set of mysterious circumstances that he must unravel if the truth is ever to be revealed.
