About this book

Murray Bailey’s The Mark of Eternity is the second novel in The Egyptian Stones series, blending mystery, danger, and ancient secrets. FBI Special Agent Charlie Reed is pulled into a fresh case when killings tied to the serial murderer called the Surgeon begin appearing with unsettling occult markings.

At the same time in Egypt, Alex MacLure discovers hidden codes within ancient tablets, only to find himself blamed for a killing he insists he did not commit. Bailey brings these threads together in a fast-moving story that mixes serial-killer tension, clues from the ancient world, and an investigation that stretches across continents.
