(<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/?p=3492\">The Summoner<\/a><\/em> was the first book and <em>The Diabolist<\/em> is the next one in the works.) Grey is now working with Professor Viktor Radek as a private investigator. They accept a case from an Egyptian who had an employee steal something of scientific value from his company.<\/p>\n<p>Grey&#8217;s temporary home base is New York and Radek is based in Prague. The case includes locations in Egypt, Bulgaria and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, Grey picks up Veronica Brown, a freelance investigative journalist. Her specialty is biomedical reporting and she&#8217;s looking for the story that will make her career.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Egyptian<\/em> is a solid thriller with romance and action scenes thrown into the mix. The mixture of science and myth should be appreciated by anyone who likes a good story.<\/p>\n<p>Grey is still the romantic tortured loner he was in <em>The Summoner<\/em>. More of his background story is revealed to explain why he&#8217;s a loner determined to live by\u00c2\u00a0his moral code. Green does a good job sprinkling information from the first book into this one so I don&#8217;t think anyone picking up this book will feel lost.<\/p>\n<p>Today and tomorrow, in celebration of <em>The Egyptian<\/em>&#8216;s release, both ebooks in the Dominic Grey series are available for 99 cents on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The\u00c2\u00a0Egyptian Author: Layton Green Publisher: First Ward Publishing Source: The author for review The Egyptian is the second book in Layton Green&#8217;s Dominic Grey series.
