Publisher Description

Digging up a buried past could lead to a premature death, for there is a dangerous secret that is centuries old—as old as the treasure of Nefertiti.

Althea Tomlinson comes back to Egypt as just another tourist, showing the country to a spoiled seventeen-year-old.That's what she tells herself, anyway.The truth is more complex—and dangerous. Ten years ago, something that happened in this desert land brought about her father's ruin and subsequent death—and Althea intends to clear her disgraced parent's 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 that propel her onward among ancient tombs, legendary treasures, miraculous discoveries—and ever-closer to her own threatened doom.

    " I haven't read Elizabeth Peters for a long time. I don't know if the character in this book is a new one or a continuing one, but I enjoyed her character. Althea can get herself out of a tight spot. If you are in to archeology, these are the books to read - I wonder how much of the location is fact. "

    " I audio-booked this as I have been in the car a lot. EP clearly grew as an author. But it didn't help that the narrator's accent and pronunciation weren't appealing to me. Amelia Peabody is so much more fun!!! "

    " I love all of the Elizabeth Peters Books. This is a very early one of hers and worth the read. The characters and plot aren't as developed and layered as her Amelia Peabody series. "
