The Early Adventures of Gordianus the Finder -- A Thrilling Historical Mystery Set in Ancient Egypt

In Raiders of the Nile, New York Times bestselling author Steven Saylor returns, chronicling the early years of his beloved detective, Gordianus, before he assumed the title of "The Finder." Set in 88 B.C., the world seems to be on the verge of war, from Rome to Greece and Egypt itself. The young Gordianus, a born-and-raised Roman citizen, is living in Alexandria, solving puzzles and uncovering secrets for pay. He whiles away his time with his slave Bethesda, waiting for the world to regain its sanity.

But on his twenty-second birthday, Bethesda is kidnapped by brigands who mistake her for a rich man's mistress. To save the woman who has come to mean more to him than he suspected, Gordianus must track down the kidnappers before they realize their error and cut their losses. As the streets of Alexandria descend into chaos and rumors of an impending invasion by Ptolemy's brother incite riots, Gordianus finds himself entangled in a bold and treacherous plot -- the raiding and pillaging of the golden sarcophagus of Alexander the Great himself.
