| Description | Autumn 1921. The Peabody-Emerson family are enjoying a fruitful period of excavation in Egypt. But when they hear the alarming tale of a man's mysterious death their digging turns to detecting. His widow is convinced her husband was the victim of a curse and implores the Emersons to find and return the small 'deadly' statue that killed him to the tomb from which it was stolen - before it claims another life. From bitter experience, the Emersons know it would be a serious mistake to start chasing tomb robbers. But Amelia and co. soon start to find that the curse may be more real than they ever imagined . . . 'She asks us to come directly to her room. She's afraid to open the door, she says!' Ramses took his mother's arm. With the skill of long practice they wound their way through the procession of camels, donkeys and carriages that filled the street. 'Which room?' Nefret asked, looking up at the long fa�ade of the hotel.... 'The one with the balcony? I'm surprised she didn't.... Oh Good Lord! What's that?' There was no mistaking what it was, despite its distance from the ground. Sunset shone with theatrical intensity on the stone balustrade of the balcony and the form leaning over it. Man-high, shrouded, dead black, it seemed to drink the sun's rays. As they stared in disbelief, the shape slowly bent forward and fell, 40 feet, toward the terrace below. | | Release Date | 2005 | | Author | Elizabeth Peters | | Format | Dimensions 15.3x23.4x2.9 cm
