Elizabeth Peters

Radcliffe Emerson, the irascible husband of fellow archaeologist Amelia Peabody, has earned the nickname "Father of Curses"—and in Mazghunah he demonstrates why.

The unshakeable Amelia Peabody embarks on an Egyptian adventure armed with self-confidence, a journal to record her thoughts, and, of course–a sturdy umbrella.

An idealistic young woman finds working a political campaign can be murder in this romantic suspense novel.

Banned forever from the eastern end of the Valley of the Kings, eminent Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson's desperate attempt to regain digging rights backfires—and his dream of unearthing the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamon is dashed.

Listeners have long wondered what befell the Emerson clan during the years before the Great War. Now, at last, the silence is broken, and the truth revealed of a perilous journey to a secret and mysterious place hidden deep in the heart of the unforgiving desert.

Settle in with this quartet of short stories—now available for the first time in a single volume—from one of the most popular mystery writers of all time.
