A Christmas slaying, an Egyptian puzzle, and a night in the home of
a stranger-three chillers from the New York Times-bestselling
"grandmaster" of mystery (Publishers Weekly). A thriller writer is
embroiled in a real-life whodunit when a friend drops dead in front
of her, with her own hatpin impaled in his back. The violation of a
sealed West Bank tomb, its rock walls intact, provides a Thebes
investigator with a mystifying conundrum. And two sisters take
shelter from a storm in a shuttered old house at the end of a
country road . . . only to discover they're not alone. Settle in
with this trio of short stories-available for the first time in a
single volume-from one of the most popular mystery writers of all
time. With her customary sharp wit, historical expertise, and
effortless knack for freezing the blood, Elizabeth Peters "never
fails to entertain" (The Plain Dealer).
