Amelia dreams of good luck – but she wont find it in Tomb Twenty-A

The year is 1903: the place is Cairo. And preparing to tackle an archacological dig in the Valley ofthe Kings, the intrepid Amelia Peabody dreams of a large cat, an Egyptian sign of good luck. An ominous message warning her to stay away from Tomb Twenty-A only intrigues Amelia, but difficulties soon mount up when her teenage son Ramses and her ward Neffet become embroiled with an American beauty who chinks she’s being stalked by a sinister stranger.
