An investigative reporter tracking rogue biomedical companies is terrified by the appearance of a mummified man outside her Manhattan apartment.
A Bulgarian scientist who dabbles in the occult makes a startling discovery in his underground laboratory.
These seemingly separate events collide when Dominic Grey and Viktor Radek, private investigators of cults, are hired by the CEO of an Egyptian biomedical firm to locate stolen research integral to the company’s new life extension product. However, after witnessing the slaughter of a team of scientists by the remnants of a dangerous cult thought long abandoned, Grey and Viktor turn from pursuers to pursued.
From the gleaming corridors of visionary laboratories to the cobblestone alleys of Eastern Europe to a lost oasis in the Sahara, Grey and Viktor must sift through science and myth to uncover the truth behind the Egyptian and his sinister biotech – before that truth kills them."(Description by Author on Amazon.com)

Lets Talk About It:
Layton Green does it again! If I could use one word and one word only to describe this book: CAPTIVATING.
I was hooked within the first few pages and thrown into Dominic Grey's world and what a world it is. If you haven't read the first book in this series, The Summoner, I suggest you do so. While both are solid stand alone books you'll understand the background of the characters and some of the references in The Egyptian much better. That and they are just fantastic books.
The Egyptian is another mystery book surround aging, bio-tech firms and the elixir of life. Dominic, of course, finds himself mixed up in between the two warring sides fighting to retrieve a test tube of this anti-aging elixir. Along the way he adds a reporter to his side and befriends the very scientist who stole the test tube from the client who hired Grey. Add to this mystery a heavy dose of betrayal and you've got quite a ride in this book!
