Lion in the Valley

Beschreibung

The 1985-96 season promises to be an exceptional one for Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her husband Emerson and their 8-year-old son Rameses. The much-coveted burial chamber in Dahshoor is theirs for the digging. Yet there is a great evil in the wind that caresses the hot sands sweeping through the bustling streets and marketplaces of Cairo.
