The Scribes from Alexandria (The Roman Mysteries)

A desperate quest begins in the Romano-Egyptian port of Alexandria, the magnificent city of the great lighthouse, the Library, and the tomb of Alexander the Great. Codes, riddles, anagrams, and hieroglyphics lead Flavia and her friends down the river Nile to pyramids and sphinxes, temples and tombs, crocodiles and hippos. But what lies at the end of their long journey? Treasure or death?
