Trying to remember an author's name (Update: found it)

[KatyMan]

He's written a couple of books, mystery/detective novels, set in Egypt. One was called something like the Armies of Chalcedon (but that isn't the correct title). His name is something like Suliman?? Anybody know?

Thanks, and I'll hang up and listen

ETA: I've googled and searched Amazon, but to no avail, alas!

1. if nothing else, call your local bookstore and ask them.

especially if you have a mystery bookstore in your area.

2. might have to do that

and it's too bad, I was in London last night, right near a great bookstore called Murder, Inc. Too bad I didn't think of it then!

4. I've seen the books you mean, just can't picture the author's name right now

[niyad]

7. try googling "mysteries set in egypt" there are a lot of links and maybe you can

find the info you need.

3. Set in current day or ancient Egypt? nt

[KatyMan]

5. Current,

and it's not the Wilbur Smith series, although that's set in ancient Egypt.

6. You aren't thinking of Anne Rice's Anne Rice's Christ the Lord & the Incarnation

Are you?

[KatyMan]

8. Nope,

but thanks!

9. Georges Simenon??

I thought I remember reading something by him that was a mystery set in Egypt. Hope that helps....but I am not sure.
