This is the first book of Elizabeth Peter's that I read, even though it is not the first in the Amelia Peabody series. Amelia Peabody Emerson is an Egyptologist in the early 20th century. Here is what the back cover says ... "Join Amelia Peabody on her thrilling new expedition to the Valley of the Kings - YOUR ITINERARY: Upper Egypt, 1907. A perilous adventure into antiquity with fiction's most beloved archaeologist and her captivationg cohorts. WITNESS exotic scenery, craven tomb robbers, vengeful gods! Discover stolen treasures, a mysterious cult, surprising secrets hidden in desert sands! FIND THE UNEXPECTED - a ruthless, remorseless killer with his eye on Amelia!".
