Mystery Historical
New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Peters
brings back beloved Egyptologist and amateur sleuth Amelia
Peabody in an exciting tale set amid the ancient temples and
simmering religious tensions of Palestine on the eve of
World War I. . . . August 1910. Banned from the Valley of the Kings by the
Antiquities Service, Amelia Peabody and her husband,
Emerson, are relaxing at home in Kent, enjoying the tranquil
beauty of summer. But adventure soon beckons when they are
persuaded to follow would-be archaeologist Major George
Morley on an expedition to Palestine, a province of the
crumbling, corrupt Ottoman Empire and the Holy Land of three
religions. Searching for the vanished treasures of the
Temple in Jerusalem, Morley is determined to unearth the
legendary Ark of the Covenant. The skeptical Emerson
wants no part of the scheme until a request from the War
Office and Buckingham Palace persuades him to reconsider.
The Germans are increasing their influence in Palestine and
British intelligence insists that Morley is an agent of the
Kaiser, sent to stir up trouble in this politically volatile
land. Emerson can't believe that the seemingly inept Morley
is a German spy, but could he be mistaken? Determined
to prevent a catastrophically unprofessional excavation that
could destroy priceless historical finds as well as cause an
armed protest by infuriated Christians, Jews, and Muslims
who view the Temple Mount, also known as the Dome of the
Rock, as sacred, Amelia, Emerson, and company head to
Palestine. Though it is not to her beloved Egypt, the trip
to Jerusalem will also reunite her with her handsome and
headstrong son, Ramses, working on a dig at Samaria, north
of the holy city. Before Ramses can meet his parents,
however, he is distracted by an unusual party of travelers
who have arrived in Samaria, including a German woman
archaeologist and a mysterious man of unknown nationality
and past. Unfortunately, Ramses's insatiable curiosity and
his knack for trouble lead him to a startling discovery:
information he must pass on to his parents in Jerusalem—if
he can get there alive. Once again the Peabody-Emerson
clan must use all their skills and wiles to find the truth,
prevent a bloody holy war, and save their son from the
clutches of a nefarious enemy in this wonderfully engaging
tale chock-full of thrills, mystery, and daring from the
inimitable Elizabeth Peters.
