An Egyptologist investigates a death at the British Museum in a
"charming" Victorian mystery by the New York Times-bestselling
author of The Painted Queen (The Denver Post). Back in London after
an archaeological dig, adventurous sleuth Amelia Peabody--"rather
like Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple all rolled into
one"--discovers that a night watchman at the museum has perished in
the shadow of a mummy case (The Washington Post Book World). There
are murmurings about an ancient curse, but a skeptical Amelia is
determined to find an all-too-human killer. Soon, she's balancing
family demands, including the troubles of her precocious son,
Ramses (aka Walter), with not just one unsolved crime, but two . .
. From a recipient of multiple honors including the Mystery Writers
of America's Grand Master Award, this murder mystery set in
Victorian-era England is a witty, rollicking, and "deeply
satisfying" romp (Entertainment Weekly) in a "jewel of a series"
(The New York Times Book Review).
