About the book
Returning from the winter events of Dahshoor (Lion in the valley), the Emersons are confronted with murder in the Egyptian wing of the British Museum, a murder attributed to a curse from one of the mummies recently donated. With the press, in the form of Kevin O'Connell and Miss Minton, dogging her heels--and hissing at each other whenever possible--can Amelia find the real murderer before becoming the next victim?
