A woman returns to Egypt to clear her archaeologist fatherтАЩs name in this mystery by the New York TimesтАУbestselling author of the Amelia Peabody series.
┬а
Althea TomlinsonтАЩs ostensible reason for returning to Egypt is to chaperone a spoiled teenager through this fabulous desert land. The truth is more complexтАФand dangerous. Ten years ago, something that happened here brought about her archaeologist fatherтАЩs ruin and subsequent death.┬а.┬а.┬а. and Althea intends to clear his disgraced name and finally lay a dark past to rest.
┬а
But there are some mysteries best left buried in the shifting sands, and a devoted daughterтАЩs search for answers is stirring up forgotten memories almost too painful to endure, which propel her onward among ancient tombs, legendary treasures, miraculous discoveries┬а.┬а.┬а. and ever closer to her own threatened doom.
