"The upper classes of ancient Egypt were riddled with cardiovascular disease that dramatically raised their risk of heart attacks and strokes," according to the Guardian. "Doctors made the discovery after taking hospital X-ray scans of 20 Egyptian mummies that date back more than 3,500 years."

HOT WIRE NOW AVAILABLE
My second novel, HOT WIRE, is now available in Kindle format from Amazon and Blasted Heath.
A head-on collision of noir crime and political conspiracy thriller, Hot Wire is an excursion into the paranoid territory of the New World Order where conspiracy theory meets chaos theory with explosive results.This is adrenaline entertainment for the 21st Century.
"Hot Wire is a hip, funny, serious and suspenseful novel that brings the great tradition of grifter noir into the present day with the excitement and urgency of the activity its title refers to. Emma Martin is the coolest protagonist crime fiction has produced in a long time."
– Barry Graham, author of When It All Comes Down To Dust
