Tetisheri is the most trusted agent of Queen Cleopatra the seventh, so she is surprised when the queen allows her to leave Alexandria to undertake a mission to Cyrenaica, as part of helping out her uncle.

But Cleopatra has her own reasons for allowing her to go. The machinations of the various players in the theatre of ancient Egypt at the time require close monitoring - not least the intentions of Julius Caesar! And who better to scout the lay of the land than Tetisheri?

This is an engrossing historical mystery that effortlessly holds the reader's interest. Stabenow really delivers with this mystery novel.

Really gripping mystery. Loved the strong female characters in this book. Could not recommend Dana Stabenow enough.

The Abduction of a Slave is such a good story. It really can transport you to another dimension. I recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can because it's THAT GOOD!!!
