Synopsis
The 18th Amelia Peabody mystery takes place in 1922, during one of the most famous archaeological expeditions in Egypt. Radcliffe Emerson believes that King Tutankhamon's tomb lies within the Valley of the Kings, but his efforts to secure the rights to dig there from rivals Howard Carter and Lord Carnavon only harden their resolve to keep the site for themselves. Their decision bears fruit and gains them considerable attention when Carter and Carnavon do in fact find King Tut's tomb. Among the interested crowd of onlookers is Emerson's half-brother Sethos, who brings chaos and danger to the Emerson family in his wake.
