![]() Spine a bit creased, minor edge wear and rubbing, binding fairly tight. Sixth in the Amelia Peabody Mystery series. "The last camel is dead, and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her dashing husband, Emerson, and precocious son, Ramses, are in dire straits on the sun-scorched desert sands. It was last Saturday that a lone gunman entered a Lane. Amelia and Emerson leave the calm of Victorian England in search of an estranged fathers son and a lost kingdom buried deep in. While five women died inside the Tinley Park Lane Bryant store. Synopsis About this title Join our plucky Victorian Egyptologist, together with her devastatingly handsome and brilliant husband Radcliffe, in another exciting escapade. Months before, back in cool, green England, Viscount Blacktower had approached them to find his son and his son's new bride, who have been missing in war-torn Sudan for over a decade. ![]() They survive the rigours of the desert, the death of their camels, and the perfidy of their guides, only to find themselves taken prisoner in a lost city and civilisation. ![]() An enigmatic message scrawled on papyrus and a cryptic map had been delivered to Blacktower, awakening his hope that the couple was still alive. Neither Amelia nor Emerson believe the message is authentic, but the treasure map proves an irresistible temptation. ![]() Now, deep in Nubia's vast wasteland, they discover too late how much treachery is afoot (and on camelback). And survival depends on Amelia's solving a mystery as old as ancient Egypt and as timeless as greed and revenge. ![]()
