![]() ![]() But when the Emersons start digging for answers in an ancient tomb, events take a darker and deadlier turn - and there may be no surviving the very modern terrors their efforts reveal. A second sighting of a sinister stranger from the crime scene, a mysterious scrap of papyrus, and a missing mummy case have all whetted Amelia's curiosity. And there is nothing in this barren area worthy of their interest - until an antiquities dealer is murdered in his own shop. Denied permission to dig at the pyramids of Dahshoor, he and Amelia are resigned to excavating mounds of rubble in the middle of nowhere. Radcliffe Emerson, the irascible husband of fellow archaeologist and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, has earned the nickname "Father of Curses" - and at Mazghunah he demonstrates why. And then it's set in Egypt, to me one of the most fascinating countries in the world. First it has a wonderful cast of main characters, I think Peabody, Emerson and Ramses really do make the book and I would love it no matter which plot was used. ![]()
