Nile Shadows by Edward Whittemore

A dense, hallucinatory saga set throughout the Nile valley that interweaves myth, history, espionage and family secrets as its disparate characters — expatriates, locals and shadowy agents — cross deserts, cities and ancient sites; the novel unfolds across decades of political upheaval and personal obsession, blending surreal episodes, secret societies and archaeological intrigue into a richly layered portrait of Egypt and destiny.
