Egypt
1901
A panicked communication from Dona Carla sends Elliott, Giselle, Aquilleia, Thorne, and Veronique the Labrador on an unexpected airship trip to Venice to investigate a mysterious disappearance.
Their journey is hastened by Lord Lapotaire, who requests their assistance in solving a worrying case in Egypt that requires tact, diplomacy, and not a little bending of the rules…
Shortly after they arrive at the Eridanus Eau de Nil; a spectacular and luxurious hotel built within an ancient Egyptian temple complex, one of their fellow guests is found dead, fifty-miles away, at the Temple of Kom Ombo.
He must have fallen from the airship some days before; but did he fall, or was he pushed
Then another murder occurs, and another, and another…
As their investigations continue, they realise that Lapotaire’s case and the recent murders are linked.
Past crimes, lost loves, and modern evils are revealed as they find the connection between the murders, an ancient family, and a wrathful figure bent on justice and vengeance.
Death in Eau De Nil is the fourth instalment in a new Victorian Gaslamp Fantasy series that follows the investigations of immortal detectives Elliott Caine and Abernathy Thorne as they search through time for the reincarnations of their murdered wives...and solve a few mysteries along the way.
