"It required the concentrated attention of every adult in the household to restrain Ramses from self-immolation and a widespread destruction of property."

Emerson, Amelia Peabody's archaeologist husband, is disgusted when he is denied access to the pyramids of Dahshoor and assigned to a "rubble heap," where nothing seems worthy of interest, until a sinister murder suspect turns up at the site. Emerson finds his curiosity piqued when an antiquities dealer is murdered and a mummy case disappears. Amelia can't resist following his trail, but danger mounts when she and Emerson look for answers in an ancient tomb that nearly becomes their grave.
