Book ten in the Amelia Peabody murder mystery series Theprospects for the 1907 archaeological season in Egypt seem fairly dull toAmelia. As a result of Emerson's less-than-diplomatic behaviour they have beendemoted to examining only the most boring tombs in the Valley of the Kings -mere leftovers, really. And then, in a seedy section of Cairo, the youngermembers of the Peabody-Emerson clan purchase a mintcondition papyrus of thefamed Book of the Dead, and so begins a new adventure into antiquity. Suddenly,the season for Amelia changes from dull to deadly as she has to untangle a webwoven of criminals and cults, stolen treasures and fallen women - all the whileunder the unblinking eye of a ruthless, remorseless killer.
