History doesn't repeat itself. It hunts. A retired detective. A deadly symbol. A conspiracy carved in ancient stone. When ritualistic murders marked by the Black Serpent shake cities across the globe, Sarah Miller is pulled from quiet retirement into a chilling investigation. Her search for answers leads her to the heart of Cairo — a city where ancient myths still whisper and danger hides behind every monument. But this is no ordinary case — it's a shadow war between secret orders, buried power, and a darkness long thought dead. Fast-paced, atmospheric, and rich in historical intrigue, In the Shadow of the Black Serpent returns in this gripping second edition — tighter, darker, and more relentless than ever.
