Amelia and family have arrived in Egypt for the 1911 archeological season -- after the marriage of young Ramses' best friend David to Amelia's niece Lia. But trouble finds them immediately when David is accused of selling ancient artifacts. While Amelia and company try to clear his name and expose the real culprit, the body of an American is found at the bottom of their excavation shaft. As accusations of drug dealing and moral misconduct fly, a child of mysterious antecedents sparks a crisis that threatens to tear the family apart. Amelia brings her brilliant powers of deduction to bear, but someone is shooting bullets at her -- and coming awfully close!

Schotland, 14e eeuw. Afton, Lord van Langley, is gestorven aan de pest. Zijn beeldschone echtgenote, de Engelse Igrainia, wordt nu gevangen gehouden in haar eigen kasteel... gegijzeld door een woeste Schotse ridder. Voor Eric Graham is de trotse kasteelvrouwe slechts een politieke pion, een mooie oorlogsbuit die hij voor de neus van de Engelse koning Edward I kan laten bungelen. Maar Eric krijgt zijn zin niet, waarop hij Igrainia dwingt met hem te trouwen. Zij zou nog liever in haar eigen kerkers wegkwijnen dan zijn arrogante aanwezigheid te accepteren. Wat beide jonge mensen echter nooit hadden verwacht is de intense hartstocht die hen onmiddellijk overvalt.

This book is the lost season 1907-08 and fits in between books 10 and 11 if you want to read them in that order. Amelia Peabody and her husband Emerson, along with their son Ramses and foster daughter Nefret, are summoned back to the Lost Oasis, a hidden stronghold in the western desert whose existence they discovered many years ago (in The Last Camel Died At Noon ) and have kept secret from the entire world, including their fellow Egyptologists. According to Merasen, the brother of the ruling monarch, their old friend Prince Tarek is in grave danger and needs their help, however it's not until they retrace their steps back to the Oasis, with its strange mixture of Meroitic and Egyptian cultures, that they learn the real reason for their journey. There's no better company on an archaeological expedition than the Father of Curses and the Lady Doctor, their beautiful Anglo-Egyptian ward, and Ramses, the Demon Brother who loves her, as Peters once again demonstrates in the latest historical mystery in this immensely popular series. If you haven't met the indomitable Amelia yet, this intriguing tale is a great place to start! --Jane Adams

La nuova stagione di scavi in Egitto si annuncia eccezionale per Amelia Peabody, suo marito Radcliffe Emerson e il loro vulcanico figlioletto Ramses, che a soli otto anni si comporta già come un esperto archeologo. Dopo lunghe trattative, infatti, sono riusciti ad avere l'autorizzazione a studiare la camera mortuaria della mitica Piramide Nera, a Dahsur. Ma già al suo arrivo al Cairo, Amelia ha la sensazione che qualcuno voglia approfittare del loro lavoro per appropriarsi illegalmente di reperti preziosissimi... Non a caso gli scavi vengono rallentati da una sconcertante serie di incidenti e morti misteriose; ma, quando un gruppo di individui tenta di rapire Ramses durante una notte di luna piena, Amelia capisce che, per fermare quella catena di violenze, l'unico modo è smascherare e incastrare il solo uomo capace di tali misfatti: la Mente Criminale, l'inafferrabile ladro che ha già tentato di uccidere lei e suo marito Emerson e che, evidentemente, non ha alcuna intenzione di lasciarli in pace. Tuttavia, per trasformarsi da preda in cacciatore, Amelia dovrà attingere a tutto il suo coraggio e acume, perché quel nemico senza scrupoli sembra un fantasma senza volto e senza storia, che gira tra piramidi e sfingi seminando paura e morte...
