"Delightful....[An] engrossing plot and writing of the highest
caliber."
--Washington Times
A globe-trotting archeologist with more grit, wit, and fortitude than
Indian Jones himself, the intrepid Amelia Peabody confronts danger and
dark mystery in the desert sands of Egypt in The Ape Who Guards the
Balance--a breathtaking adventure from New York Times bestselling
Grandmaster Elizabeth Peters that encompasses treachery, villainy,
bloodthirsty cults, the Book of the Dead...and murder most foul. The
Charleston Post and Courier proclaims Elizabeth Peters "a mistress of
plot," while the New York Times Book Review declares, "Amelia remains
an irrepressible delight."
