Rubbing to edges and corners bumped. Back cover dented.  Spine and covers creased.

A new year dawn, 1917, and the Great War that is ravaging the world shows no signs of abating.  Answering the siren call of Egypt once again, Amelia, Emerson and family arrive at their home in Luxor to learn of a new royal tomb ransacked by thieves.  Soon an even more disturbing outrage concerns the intrepid clan of archaeologists - the fresh and savagely slain corpse of a thief defiling the ancient burial site.

Yet all this pales when compared with the fate that now threatens Ramses. Answering a call he cannot refuse from military intelligence, he must journey to the port of Gaza to undertake a mission as unique as it is perilous.  Death will surely be his lot if he is caught or exposed.  Meantime Ramses' wife Nefret guards a secret of her own ...

Once again we are transported to an exotic world, to the hectic bustle of the Cairo markets and on to remote, sand-swept corners of the Egyptian desert where the gods of antiquity sleep - yet the troubles of the modern world penetrate even this mysterious and beleaguered land.
