The Hippopotamus Pool (Amelia Peabody #8)

Description

When a

masked stranger offers to reveal an Egyptian queen's lost tomb

to Amelia and Emerson in 1900, they are intrigued to say the

least. But the guide mysteriously disappears, leaving them to

sail to Thebes to follow his trail. The fact that Ramses and

Nefret are along on the journey both helps and hampers efforts

to solve this mystery. Soon all four are risking their lives as

they foil kidnappers, grave robbers and ancient curses. And

intrepid Amelia finds herself faced with a surprising new

villain who is every bit as clever and resourceful as she is!
