Murder in Mesopotamia
2001 · book
Nurse Amy Leatheran had a most unusual patient. Louise, according to her husband, celebrated archaeologist Dr. Leif Ericsson, suffered from 'nervous terror.' Her fantasies were vivid and horrifying: a disembodied hand, a yellow, dead face pressed against the window. Who or what did she fear? At the site of a dig in the Iraqi desert, surely she was safe from danger. Most of the expedition were old colleagues and friends. Yet they seemed an unnaturally formal group - there was tension, uneasiness even, in the air. Something very sinister was going on and it involved...murder.
