Anubis Murders — Gary Gygax

A JACKAL OF ALL TRADES -- A MASTER OF EVIL

Magister Setne Inhetep was badly in need of a vacation. That's why the great Egyptian wizard-priest was less than thrilled to see the three high mages before him telling him of the potent magic and heinous murders that were spreading like mad through the most elite circles of distant Avillonia. The only connection -- between these horrible acts of violent magic is a statuette of the ancient Egyptian god Anubis -- known to all as the Master of Jackals. It is up to Setne and his beautiful bodyguard, Rachelle, to unmask the true killer behind these gruesome murders and clear the name of their revered god. As he wanders through an underground maze of secret Egyptian cults and double-crosses, Setne soon finds himself enmeshed in a diabolical web of international blackmail and trickery, fueled by a powerful, evil magic possibly more potent than his own. And when Rachelle is kidnapped and Setne is accused of treason, it will take every bit of sorcery and cunning the sardonic Egyptian has to save their lives...and to keep the world from plunging into a darkness beyond imagining....
