Why read it?
1 author picked Sphinx as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love thrillers that meld ancient history and modern settings. This book is that rare page-turner wherein an amazing story takes place in Egypt that revolves around the pursuit and plunder of Pharaohs’ treasures buried in the pyramids.
Reading Sphinx, I immensely delighted in how the master storyteller and physician Robin Cook, taking a slight detour from his normal “medical/hospital” based stories, produced a mesmerizing tale that was as gripping as his other works.
