Things are quiet in New York. Unusually quiet. Gabriel, the Ghost, knows that something's wrong. There's a heat wave building for a start, and it feels as if the pressure's getting unbearable. Something's going to give.

When an expedition returns from Cairo to exhibit their finds at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gabriel takes a keen interest. An old friend and loverβ€”a girl called Ginny, whom he hasn't seen for over a yearβ€”was part of the expedition. Something's not right with Ginny, however, and not just the fact she's still drinking... something happened to her in Cairo, out on the dig.

Something that's related to a strange cult known as The Circle of Thoth: a baboon with a clockwork eye, dust devils on Fifth Avenue, robed assassins, sacrificial rites, a 'resurrection machine', and a ghostly figure clad in trailing bandages, seen floating over the rooftops of the city.

Ancient forces are stirring, and the Ghost, Ginny, and Gabriel's friend Donovan are caught right in the middle...

Ghosts of Karnak by George Mann is a thrilling adventure full of mystery and suspense. Dive into the chilling world and unravel the secrets that lie beneath the surface of New York City.
