Book Summary
The year is 1903. The place is Cairo. And preparing to tackle an archaelogical dig in the Valley of the Kings, the intrepid Amelia Peabody dreams of a large cat, an Egyptian sign of good luck.
In fact an ominous warning "Stay away from tomb Twenty-A" only intrigues her. But Amelia soon acquires a fearful headache when teenage son Ramses and her beautiful ward Nefret sneak about to help a pretty American who thinks she's being stalked. And when tomb Twenty-A yields a mummy wearing silk undies, Amelia finds herself in a labyrinth of macabre murder, passion, and cruel deceit.
Now she needs the cat's good luck and more: feline stealth, a nose for something rotten, and nine lives - or her next dig may be her own grave...
