Book Description:
Plucky young Jenny Benet, a recently orphaned American girl who was raised on the Wild West frontier and educated at a Boston finishing school, has come to Egypt in company with her uncle Neville Hawthorne, a prominent British archaeologist. They're part of a team investigating the legendary Buried Pyramid, the tomb of the pharaoh Neferankhotep -- who may also have been Moses the Lawgiver.
But they're not the only ones interested in the site. Another party, led by the opulent and treacherous Lady Audrey Cheshire, is shadowing theirs. Someone who signs himself "The Sphinx" has been sending threatening letters -- written entirely in hieroglyphics. In Egypt, an ancient and shadowy organization seems determined to keep the tomb from being discovered.
But mortals may not be all that stands in their way.

A wonderfully sweet, historically-accurate Victorian Egyptian exploration, with ancient gods and buried secrets and deep loyalties, and a plucky American girl raised on the frontier -- not afraid to wear trousers and six-guns on a desert expedition, even if it scandalizes her British uncle. :->
If you liked the movie 'The Mummy,' this is basically the same setting, though a rather different story.

Good reading for those interested in archeaolgy and the ancient Egyptians. A little too much fantasy for my tastes, but good characteriztion & setting.

The first part of the book was pretty good. The last half was rather far-fetched. Not the best book I ever read.
This book was a little slow getting into the action but overall was a good read. Would recommend to others.
Unusual book - but another of Lindskold's books that holds your attention. I didn't want to put it down!
entertaining Egyptian fantasy, likeable heroine
Very good writing; good story. Not exactly what I expected but the story wasn't any worse for that.
A very enjoyable mystery/fantasy by one of my favorite authors!
Intrepid young Jenny Benet, a recently orphaned American girl who was raised on the Wild West frontier and educated at a Boston finishing school, has come to Egypt in company with her uncle, Neville Hawthorne, a British archeologist. They're part of a team hunting for the legendary Buried Pyramid, the tomb of the pharaoh Neferankhotep--who may also have been Moses the Lawgiver . . .
But shadowing their party is another, hoping to take over any discoveries Hawthorne and his niece might make. And this other party will stop at nothing. Then Jenny and Hawthorne start getting mysterious messages signed by 'The Sphinx,' and things start getting really interesting.
