The Sands of Sakkara (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of The Sands of Sakkara Sunday, August 2 2009.

• Glenn Meade's electrifying novels capture the intrigue of nations, the brutality of war, and the heroism of brave men and women. The Sands of Sakkara is his most satisfying novel yet-a heart-pounding thriller set against the backdrop of wartime Egypt, where a breathless chase across the arid desert explodes, as two people race against time to stop a dark plot in the heart of World War II... Once Rachel Stern was a beautiful archaeologist, until the Nazis herded her behind barbed wire. Once Jack Halder lived between two nations. Now he is filled with rage, chosen to spearhead a desperate secret mission-and to bring Rachel Stern into it. Once Harry Weaver was one of America's best and brightest. Now he is the only U.S. agent who can hunt down the man who was his friend, and the woman they both loved in 1939. In a stunning story that reaches from the teeming streets of Berlin to the feet of the great pyramids, three former friends are about to meet again: around a mission to assassinate FDR.

• It was April and the khamsin was blowing, a howling desert wind that lashed the streets with gust of blinding sand.
