Tomb Of The Golden Bird - [Amelia Peabody 18] - Elizabeth Peters 2006 English

Convinced that the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamonlies somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, eminent Egyptologist RadcliffeEmerson and his intrepid wife, Amelia Peabody, seem to have hit a wall. Havingbeen banned forever from the East Valley, Emerson, against Amelia's advice, hastried desperately to persuade Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter to relinquishtheir digging rights. But Emerson's trickery has backfired, and his insistentinterest in the site has made his rivals all the more determined to keep theEmerson clan away.

Powerless to intervene but determined to stay close to theunattainable tomb, the family returns to Luxor and prepares to continue theirdig in the less promising West Valley -- and to watch from the sidelines asCarter and Carnarvon "discover" the greatest Egyptian treasure of alltime: King Tut's tomb. But before their own excavation can get underway,Emerson and his son, Ramses, find themselves lured into a trap by a strangegroup of villains ominously demanding "Where is he?" Driven bydistress -- and, of course, Amelia's insatiable curiosity -- the Emersonsembark on a quest to uncover who "he" is and why "he" mustbe found, only to discover that the answer is uncomfortably close to home. NowAmelia must find a way to protect her family -- and perhaps even her would-benemesis -- from the sinister forces that will stop at nothing to succeed in thenefarious plot that threatens the peace of the entire region.
