Produktbeschreibung

A Stabbing Death in Luxor or the Further Adventures of Professor Hilary Tamar is essentially a murder mystery. The story is told entirely from the viewpoint of Professor Tamar who, along with five of her associates, all barristers in London, comprise a group which has solved several crimes in the past. Professor Tamar becomes suspicious of a client of one of the barristers and soon uncovers a $2.5 million embezzlement scheme. Before the crime is even discovered, one of the embezzlers drives away from a bank in Switzerland with $2.5 million in gold coins loaded in his car, waving to the bank officials as he leaves. Very shortly thereafter, one of the embezzlers is dead, and Professor Tamar begins a more thorough investigation of the embezzlement and this death. Since one the embezzlers is Egyptian, the story soon shifts to Luxor, Egypt, where Professor Tamar and associates soon assemble. A detailed investigation is described, at the conclusion of which the reader is given a possible solution to the more recent stabbing in Luxor, but is left with a question as to its actual cause. The reader is also left with the question as to what the proper pronouns should be for Professor Tamar.

Autorenporträt

Howard Hallengren was born in Chicago, Illinois and attended public high school there before winning a scholarship to Princeton University. He graduated from Princeton with honors in English literature and immediately began work at the First National Bank of Chicago. He rose to become Chief Investment Officer of the Bank in the 1970's. He left First Chicago in 1982, joining the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, where he served as Chief Investment Officer in International Private Banking. Both at First Chicago and at Chase, Mr. Hallengren traveled extensively worldwide and became particularly interested in ancient Egyptian civilization as revealed in the tombs and temples around Luxor. He left Chase in 1992 and formed his own company, Falcon Real Estate Investment Company, Ltd. and served as Chairman of this company until his retirement in 2012. Following retirement, Mr. Hallengren wrote his first novel, Reminiscences of An Accidental Embezzler, which received critical praise. His current novel, A Stabbing Death in Luxor, is based on experiences during his banking career, as well as his interest in Egypt and Luxor.
