It's 1892, and Amelia and Emerson, who is now her husband, are back in England raising their young son Ramses, when they are approached by a damsel in distress. Lady Baskerville's husband, Sir Henry, has died after uncovering what may have been royal tomb in Luxor. Amid rumors of a curse haunting all those involved with the dig, Amelia and Emerson proceed to Egypt and begin to suspect that Sir Henry did not die a natural death.

But the death of an amateur archaeologist in Egypt draw them back to the Nile (Ramses, alas, is too young to go), and not only are there som...
I'm not sure whether it's an advantage or a disadvantage, but one effect of hitting middle age is being able to re-read a book you loved 20 years ago as if for the first time. This is the second of the Amelia Peabody mysteries, and she and her husband—Radcliffe Emerson, "the greatest Egyptologist of...
