Meer oor hierdie e-boek
A woman returns to Egypt to clear her archaeologist father’s name in this mystery by the New York Times–bestselling author of the Amelia Peabody series.
Althea Tomlinson’s ostensible reason for returning to Egypt is to chaperone a spoiled teenager through this fabulous desert land. The truth is more complex—and dangerous. Ten years ago, something that happened here brought about her archaeologist father’s ruin and subsequent death. . . . and Althea intends to clear his disgraced name and finally lay a dark past to rest.
But there are some mysteries best left buried in the shifting sands, and a devoted daughter’s search for answers is stirring up forgotten memories almost too painful to endure, which propel her onward among ancient tombs, legendary treasures, miraculous discoveries . . . and ever closer to her own threatened doom.
Praise for the novels of Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Elizabeth Peters
“Deeply satisfying.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Elizabeth Peters is truly great.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“This author never fails to entertain.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer
