Synopsis

When the body of a night watchman is found sprawled in the shadow of a rare 19thDynasty mummy case, panic ensues. No one doubts that the guards untimely demise is the work of an ancient Egyptian curse. No one, that is, except that tarttongued Victorian Egyptologist, Amelia Peabody, whose remarkable talent for criminal investigation has frustrated villains from London to Cairo. Now fresh from her daring exploits in exotic Egypt, Amelia, her sexy archaeologist husband, Emerson, and their catastrophically precocious son, Ramses, have returned to their native England just in time to get wrapped up in the intrigue. Its a mystery worthy of Amelias superior sleuthing, but can she elude the vile clutches of the real perpetrator long enough to uncover his identity?
