Synopsis

The last camel is dead, and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her dashing husband, Emerson, and precocious son, Ramses, are in dire straits on the sunscorched desert sands. Months before, back in cool, green England, Viscount Blacktower had approached them to find his son and his sons new bride, who have been missing in wartorn Sudan for over a decade. An enigmatic message scrawled on papyrus and a cryptic map had been delivered to Blacktower, awakening his hope that the couple was still alive. Neither Amelia nor Emerson believes the message is authentic, but the treasure map proves an irresistible temptation. Now, deep in Nubias vast wasteland, they discover too late how much treachery is afoot (and on camelback)and survival depends on Amelias solving a mystery as old as ancient Egypt and as timeless as greed and revenge.
