Silver Tomb (The Lazarus Longman Chronicles Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Children that looked like they had never had a bath in their lives capered about in the gutters, some of them with nasty eye infections which drew buzzing hordes of small flies. Haggard men, little more than skeletons, worked away in the irrigated fields and women in their black gowns plastered the houses and washed clothes out on the street. There were none of the water vendors, coffee sellers or shoeshine boys one saw in Cairo; a city that catered and profited from the needs of wealthy travelers. Here, all were engaged in a daily struggle for existence and the mere presence of travelers seemed to be a rare and unwelcome occasion. “You’ve noticed that we’re being followed?” Petrie asked Lazarus. “Yes? That’s good.” Lazarus had indeed become aware of the three young men who had been trailing behind them ever since they entered the village. They seemed to be carrying clubs of some sort. A woman poked her head out from a nearby window and they saw her eyes widen as she noticed them.
