To this end, she dispatches loyal Rahotep--chief detective of the ancient capital's elite police force--on a clandestine mission to persuade the Hittite king to agree to a marriage between one of his sons and the widowed Queen. </p><p>With the nefarious General Horemheb poised to use his army to impose martial law on Egypt and a brutal new opium cartel emerging within the criminal underworld, it will fall to Rahotep to prevent the gathering forces of chaos from destroying Egypt's greatest dynasty.
