Recenzii

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

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The Land of the Pharaohs harbors more secrets than any tomb can hide
In Egypt for the 1911 archaeological season, Amelia Peabody and her family are not anticipating trouble, but it finds them nonetheless. Their young friend David is accused of selling ancient artifacts, and it’s up to the Emersons to expose the real culprit. But the body of an American discovered at the bottom of their excavation shaft and a child of mysterious antecedents are sparking twin crises that threaten to tear the family apart. Amelia brings her estimable powers of deduction to bear, but she might not survive long enough to unravel more than one perplexing puzzlebecause suddenly someone is shooting bullets in her direction . . . and coming too close for comfort!
