Two thousand years before the birth of Christ, ancient Thebes. In the house of the priest Imhotep, a new concubine appears—Nofret. A woman with a bad temper, she manages in a short time to set all members of the family against each other, especially Imhotep’s sons. The priest’s relatives hate her. So when Nofret is found dead, hardly anyone doubts that this was far from an accident. Imhotep’s daughter Renisenb is sure: the motive for the murder was with every member of the family. But who, in the end, did it? And most importantly—will the “scandal in a noble family” end with this death?
