The 19th-century Egyptologist must rescue her kidnapped husband, find
the culprit, and save her marriage in this delightful seventh adventure
for beloved heroine Amelia Peabody.
With Nefret, now a ward of Amelia and Emerson, and Ramses at home
pursuing their studies, the couple returns to Amarna in 1898 for a dig
that promises to be just like old times. The trip turns out to be more
like old times than they plan, however, when they become the targets of
a Master Criminal's evil plot. Emerson is kidnapped, and Amelia rescues
him to discover that he has lost his memory. Tantalizingly close to her
most important discovery yet, a tomb that may have been Nefertiti's,
Amelia needs to turn her attention to regaining her husband's love.
