Klappentext zu „The Labyrinth of Osiris “
Since they last met, life has moved on for Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor Police and Jerusalem detective Arieh Ben-Roe. About to become a father for the first time, Ben-Roi finds himself investigating a gruesome murder in Jerusalem's Armenian Cathedral. The victim, a journalist named Rivka Kleinberg, had been researching an article into the Israeli sex-trafficking industry. When a link emerges between Kleinberg and an English engineer who disappeared from Luxor in 1931, Ben-Roi turns for help to his old friend and sparring partner Khalifa. Khalifa's life too has changed, although in his case not for the better. Preoccupied with personal tragedy and immersed in an investigation of his own - a series of mysterious well-poisonings in Egypt's Eastern desert - he agrees for old time's sake to do some digging for his Israeli colleague. In the process Ben-Roi might just be giving Khalifa his lust for life back. Inexorably the two investigations entwine, drawing Ben-Roi and Khalifa into a sinister web of violence, abuse, corporate malpractice and anti-capitalist terrorism. And at the heart of the web lies the Labyrinth - a three-thousand year-old ancient Egyptian mystery that has already taken Rivka Kleinberg's life - and hers will not be the last...

Rezension zu „The Labyrinth of Osiris “
"Sussman knew how to keep a complex plot bowling along while constantly ratcheting up the tension...this is top-drawer popular fiction and is sure to become an even bigger bestseller than his three other novels." -- John Preston MAIL ON SUNDAY "An absolutely top-notch thriller - captivating, intelligent and notably well-written, with a depth of characterisation most thrillers don't usually even attempt... his plotting is terrific, as is the confidence with which he allows his story, with its richly detailed contexts and characters, time to develop...Sussman's thrillers have been translated into 33 languages and have sold over 2 million copies worldwide. This, his final book, deserves to be even more successful." -- Harry Ritchie DAILY MAIL "Stylish writing and deep research." GUARDIAN 20120720 "This is a genuinely exciting read from a world-class storyteller. Sussman pulls together the strands of a complex, well researched tale with ease, combining his archaeological puzzler with contemporary Middle Eastern concerns. It's a beautifully observed thriller that's sadly also the author's last." -- Christopher Fowler FINANCIAL TIMES 20120804 "Reminds us that crime fiction is one field where the Brits give the Americans a run for their money on the medal table." -- Jake Kerridge DAILY TELEGRAPH
