Description

Join our plucky Victorian Egyptologist , together with her devastatingly handsome and brilliant husband Radcliffe, in another exciting escapade

When Lady Baskerville's husband Sir Henry dies after discovering what may have been an undisturbed royal tomb in Luxor, she appeals to eminent archaeologist Radcliffe Emerson and his wife Amelia to take over the excavation. Amid rumours of a curse haunting all those involved with the dig, the intrepid couple proceeds to Egypt, where they begin to suspect that Sir Henry did not die a natural death, and they are confident that the accidents that plague the dig are caused by a sinister human element, not a pharoah's curse

Reviews

I can't wait for the next Peabody story... I really do think [Elizabeth Peters'] books are great entertainment.

A writer so popular that the public library has to keep her books under lock and key. - Washington Post Book World

Think Miss Marple with early feminist gloss crossed with Indiana Jones... accomplished entertainment. - Guardian
