Elizabeth PetersVezi magazinul LibrisThe 1895-96 season promises to be an exceptional one for Amelia Peabody, her dashing Egyptologist husband, Emerson, and their wild and precocious eight-year-old son, Ramses.
The much-coveted burial chamber of the Black Pyramid in Dahshoor is theirs for the digging.
But there is a great evil in the wind that roils the hot sands sweeping through the bustling streets and marketplaces of Cairo.
The brazen moonlight abduction of Ramses--and an expedition subsequently cursed by misfortune and death--have alerted Amelia to the likely presence of her arch nemesis the Master Criminal, notorious looter of the living and the dead.
But it is far more than ill-gotten riches that motivates the evil genius this time around.
For now the most valuable and elusive prize of all is nearly in his grasp: the meddling lady archaeologist who has sworn to deliver him to justice .
Amelia Peabody.
