The last camel is dead, and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her dashing husband, Radcliffe Emerson, and precocious son, Ramses, are in dire straits on the sun-scorched desert sands. Months before, back in cool, green England, Viscount Blacktower had approached them to find his son and his son's bride, missing in war-torn Sudan for over a decade. An enigmatic message scrawled on papyrus and a cryptic map had been delivered to Blacktower, awakening his hope that the couple were still alive. Neither Amelia nor Radcliffe believes the message is authentic, but the treasure map proves an irresistable temptation. Now deep in Nubia's vast wasteland, they'll discover too late how much treachery is afoot (and on camelback)...and that survival depends on Amelia solving a mystery as old as ancient Egypt and as timeless as greed and revenge.
