Synopsis
Sudanese investigator Makana travels into the desert heart of Egypt to solve a series of brutal murders and explore the shifting sands of the past, in this third installment of the acclaimed Makana Mystery series, It is 2002 and as tanks roll into the West Bank and the reverberations of 9/11 echo across the globe, tensions are running high on Cairo's streets. Private Investigator Makana, in exile from his native Sudan and increasingly haunted by memories of his wife and daughter, is shaken out of his despondency when a routine surveillance job leads him to the horrific murder of a teenage girl. In a country where honor killings are commonplace and the authorities seem all too eager to turn a blind eye, Makana determines to track down the perpetrator. He finds unexpected assistance in the shape of Azza, a woman who seems to share Makana's hunger for justice. Seeking answers in the dead girl's past he travels to Siwa, an oasis town on the edge of the great Sahara Desert, where the law seems disturbingly far away and old grievances simmer just below the surface. As violence follows him through the twisting, sandblown streets and an old enemy lurks in the shadows, Makana discovers that the truth can be as deadly and as changeable as the desert beneath his feet.

    Excellent seller! Item exactly as described; well packed; great price as the seller was having a sale; extremely fast shipping; I purchased multiple ornaments and the seller advised me to pay the full shipping cost and then they would refund any overage. The very next day I received a refund for shipping. Great communication with the seller and a very smooth transaction. I would definitely buy from them again. I'm very happy with my vintage Radko ornaments. Thanks!

    Arrived today in excellent condition- great packaging. Accurate description and a great value for an older Radko finial. My only remaining problem is deciding where to place it in my finial display this coming Christmas (see PIX below). Thanks again, Bob
