A tense tale set on the Nile, where love and jealousy collide in a web of secrets.
In Bye-Ways, a traveler named Bellairs becomes entangled in a shifting web of affection and motive while journeying through Egypt. A sudden change in his partner Betty unsettles him, and a clever confidante, Clarice, hints at a deeper bond that could redefine everyone’s loyalties. As suspicions mount, the story follows a high-stakes struggle of desire, deception, and self-discovery against a backdrop of temples, dahabeeyahs, and Thebes.
The book builds a mood of suspense and psychological tension, tracing how love can blur boundaries and how someone’s hidden motives can reshape a connection once thought clear. It explores themes of perception, influence, and the consequences of longing, all set within a vivid, traveler's-eye view of a world steeped in history.
Ideal for readers who enjoy romantic suspense with a literary edge and a richly drawn exotic setting.
