--Another absolutely rollicking book in the Amelia Peabody series--
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer "Amelia Peabody Emerson, archeologist extraordinaire, and arguably the most potent female force to hit Egypt since Cleopatra, is digging in again."
Aboard a boat traveling up the Nile, their delightful(but catastrophically precocious) son, Ramses, having been left back in England, Amelia Peabody and her husband, Emerson, just might have a second honeymoon while they search for Nefertitti's tomb. On the other hand, they might be heading toward murder. Or worse.
A beautiful, exotic slave woman, an enigmatic Oriental cat, and a den of conspirators unite in attempts to snatch away Amelia's happiness unless she reveals a secret she cannot ethically disclose.
So now, as the couple arrives at the remote desert site of Amarna, they will confront danger behind the sand dunes, a nefarious kidnapping plot, and a villain in disguise among their own retinue. Amelia is tantalizingly close to the most fabulous discovery since King Tut's tomb, but as hard as she digs, what she uncovers is a shocking present-day peril: the loss of treasures far more precious than any antiquity--her husband's love or both their lives.
