- Fiction, Amelia Peabody (Fictitious character), Women archaeologists, Peabody, amelia (fictitious character), fiction
Returning from the winter events of Dahshoor (Lion in the valley), the Emersons are confronted with murder in the Egyptian wing of the British Museum, a murder attributed to a curse from one of the mummies recently donated. With the press, in the form of Kevin O'Connell and Miss Minton, dogging her heels--and hissing at each other whenever possible--can Amelia find the real murderer before becoming the next victim?
