The Great Cat of R'a by Robert Muller is a wonderful alternate history set on the San Francisco peninsula in the current time, but the city is called Menmenet and it is part of the Ta'an-Imenty Republic (a country on the western side of North America), part of the new world empire of Kemet (Egypt).This is a novel that combines Egyptian influences (different god, stick and bow combat, and language) with contemporary technology, Rusian mobsters, and money laundering. Come for the culture and stay for the mystery.
Highly recommended.
On another note, the design of the book is extraordinary. Here is an entire blog post inspired by the book. https://shannonentropyequalszero.wordpress.com/2017/02/22/publishing-progress-or-not-publishing-history-writing/
