Used. Hardcover. Noel Barber’s *Sakkara* is a sweeping saga that transports readers straight into the sun-baked intrigue of mid-century Egypt without ever requiring a passport or a pith helmet. It is a propulsive piece of historical fiction that weaves personal turmoil with grand geopolitical shifting sands, keeping the tension tighter than a mummy’s wrappings. If you like your historical drama served with a side of sweeping romance and high-stakes espionage, you will dig this one up with pleasure.
