It is 1914 and Amelia Peabody and her husband Emerson are back in
Egypt for another season of archaeological excavation. But this
year a new menace hangs over the dig: rumblings of war abound in
Europe while over in the East, Turkish and German forces are
massing for an attack on the Suez Canal. There are problems closer
to home too: their son Rameses, passionately opposed to the war, is
collecting white feathers and challenges from the British community
of Cairo, their beautiful ward Nefret seems to have become involved
with Amelia's detested nephew Percy, while David, the young
Egyptian married to their niece Lia, has been interned because of
his nationalist sympathies. Even Amelia finds it difficult to
concentrate on pyramids when her children are in trouble and Cairo
teems with enemy agents, including her old nemesis. Can Amelia
unmask the Master Criminal and prevent a bloody uprising in Cairo,
rescue Nefret from the attentions of her nephew, defend her son
against unknown enemies and prevent Emerson from dashing off to
fight in the looming war? If anyone can it's Amelia - but this time
she is going to need all the help that she can get; and some of it
from a completely unexpected source.
