English Summary/英文概要: The ghosts of an ancient past and the specters of a present-day evil are buried in the hot Egyptian sands ...
For archaeologist Amelia Peabody and her family, the allure of Egypt remains as powerful as ever, even in this tense time of World War. But nowhere in this desert land is safe especially for Amelia’s son Ramses and his beautiful new wife Nefret. Treachery and peril pursue the two young lovers across the length and breadth of this strange, exotic world, strengthening a bond of passion and devotion that only death can sever. And the grim discovery of a recent corpse in a tomb where it does not belong is pulling Amelia deeper into a furious desert storm of intrigue, corruption, kidnapping, and murder and toward dark revelations that threaten to awaken the past ... and alter the family’s destiny.
