The intrepid Amelia Peabody and company return again for another exotic Egyptian archaeological outing. It is 1911 and Amelia and husband Emerson receive a mysterious accusation of antiquities forgery leveled against family friend David, who is just about to marry Amelia's niece Lia. More intrigue and mystery build up when the Emersons return to Egypt: bullets aimed at Amelia, the discovery of a young American's corpse at their excavation site, and the appearance of a small girl of mysterious parentage. Murder, conspiracy, romance, Edwardian society, and dry British humor all come together in this highly entertaining mystery - but be warned, it's a cliffhanger!
